- Fresh Spinach is Best: While frozen spinach can work in a pinch, fresh spinach wilts beautifully and adds a brighter flavor.
- Parmesan Power: Don’t skimp on the parmesan cheese garnish! It adds a salty, savory finish.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I use different types of tortellini?
A: Absolutely! Meat-filled or vegetable tortellini would both be delicious in this soup.
Q: Can I add vegetables other than spinach?
A: Yes! Diced carrots, zucchini, or celery would all be great additions. Add them when you sauté the onion.
Q: Can I make this soup ahead of time?
A: It’s best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The tortellini may absorb some of the broth upon standing.
Q: Is this soup gluten-free?
A: Unfortunately, traditional tortellini is made with wheat flour. To make this soup gluten-free, you would need to use gluten-free tortellini.
We hope you enjoy this comforting and flavorful Simple Tortellini Soup as much as we do! It’s the perfect way to warm up on a cold day and bring a little bit of Italian sunshine to your kitchen.
