Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 1 medium celery stalk
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1-1/2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 32 ounces low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • 28 ounces canned fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
  • 1 ounce Parmesan cheese
  • 9 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 5 ounces baby spinach
  • 2 tsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the following, adding each to the same bowl as you complete it: Dice 1 medium yellow onion (about 1 1/2 cups). Peel and dice 1 medium carrot (about 1/2 cup). Dice 1 medium stalk celery (about 1/3 cup). Mince 3 garlic cloves.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the vegetables, 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and stir to coat the vegetables until no dry streaks remain. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add 1 (32-ounce) carton low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth and 1 (28-ounce) can fire-roasted crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Meanwhile, finely grate 1 ounce Parmesan cheese (about 1/2 cup lightly packed) if needed, or measure out 1/3 cup store-bought.
  • Add 1 (8- to 9-ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini and cook for 1 minute less than the package instructions. Remove the pot from the heat. Add the Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 5 ounces baby spinach, and stir to combine. Let sit until the spinach is wilted, about 1 minute. Add 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar and stir to combine. Serve topped with more Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

Substitution: You can substitute refrigerated tortellini with 12 ounces (about 3 cups) frozen cheese tortellini.
Storage: The soup is best immediately after cooking, but leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
