Ingredients
 

  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 2 (28 fluid ounce) cans crushed tomatoes with basil
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt (more if needed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • (1) 20 ounce bag cheese tortellini
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (add more if you want!)
  • Freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Add the olive oil to a large soup pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the crushed red pepper flakes and onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until softened. 
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  • Add in the broth and crushed tomatoes. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to boil.
  •  Stir in the fresh basil, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and sugar. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. 
  • Using a food processor or blender, working in small batches, puree the soup until completely smooth.
  • Return the soup to the pot, add the cream, and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Stir in the tortellini and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the tortellini is cooked through. 
  • Stir in the spinach and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly wilted. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed. 
  • Ladle the soup into mugs or bowls and top each with plenty of Parmesan cheese. Serve warm!
