Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 (9-ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper, to taste

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Optional: Crusty bread for dipping

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent, which should take about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant, taking care not to let it burn.

    Add Broth and Tortellini: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the refrigerated cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes, until they are tender and floating.

      Incorporate Spinach and Cream: Once the tortellini is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the chopped spinach, allowing it to wilt for about 1-2 minutes. Then, pour in the heavy cream along with the dried basil and oregano, stirring well to combine all the flavors. Taste the mixture, and season with salt and pepper as needed.

        Simmer and Serve: Let the soup simmer gently for an additional 3-5 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully together. Adjust the seasoning to suit your taste if necessary.

          Garnish and Enjoy: Ladle the creamy soup into bowls and finish by sprinkling freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top. Serve hot, accompanied by crusty bread for dipping if desired.
