Do you have an easy weeknight favorite recipe? One that you go to ad nauseam? And then, without reason, it fades away? Such was the case with my tortellini soup. I guess it was forgotten in the move. Too many new foods and recipes to explore I suppose.
Thanks to a Facebook message from an old friend, I was recently reminded of this wonderfully simple soup. I have altered the ingredients from my original version, as Mr. Man does not like tomatoes. Perhaps our son will outgrow this phase or “forget” his dislike in the near future, just as I had forgotten this recipe.
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
3 large garlic cloves, minced
10 - 12 cups vegetable stock
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for garnish)
5-6 fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 cup coarsely chopped fresh baby spinach
2 packages fresh cheese tortellini
In a large stockpot heat oil on medium-high. Add onion and garlic. Sauté 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add vegetable stock and pepper. Bring to a soft boil. Stir in Parmesan cheese, basil, spinach and tortellini. Cook 6-8 minutes on a low boil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to individual serving bowls. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
Serves 4 - 6

Dear Ronda,
Love that you always have soup ideas and post them they give your post more intimacy and a feel for you as a person....
It is so crazy how our kids love things and then hate them but I must have did the same thing as a child!!!

As always, your soup sounds divine. Thanks so much for reminding me that soup warms not only the body, but also the soul. Keep warm!
Ronda,
I'm trying this one this week. I even think Lucy will eat it. I don't know why kids don't like soup but I can't ever get her to eat it. I think the pasta will do the trick. Hope you have a great week.
Great recipe! I think I will try it. Fantastic blog, Glad I stumbled upon it. Off to browse. Maria
Sounds absolutely delicious!
Rhonda,
I am new to your blog. You drew me in with the recipe for your Tortellini - Parmesan Soup. It sounds not only easy but tasty as well.
You mentioned that you have altered the ingredients from my original version, as Mr. Man does not like tomatoes. We happen to love tomatoes so I was wondering if perhaps you could also share your recipe with the tomatoes as well.
Thank you!
Yes, of course. Basically the same recipe. Just add 1 or 2 cans of diced tomatoes! Really easy and yummy.
Best,
Ronda
I made this soup yesterday, it was yummy and best of all the kids loved it. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing this recipe. My husband and I had it this evening. It turned out great.
Going to make the lentil spinach lemon soup next. Again, thanks for sharing.

May I your permission to reprint this for my blog? It sounds wonderful!
Ronda,
At last. I found my way here. All the Best has been added to one blogroll more.
This looks perfectly divine. It will be featured in an upcoming menu.
