Method
- Heat Olive Oil: Start by heating the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and the onion becomes translucent.
- Add Garlic and Zucchini: Stir in the minced garlic and diced zucchini. Sauté for another 2 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant.
- Add Tomatoes and Broth: Add the can of diced tomatoes (with juice) and vegetable broth. Stir in the dried oregano and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
- Cook the Tortellini: Once the broth is simmering, add the tortellini to the pot. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes, or according to package instructions, until the tortellini is tender and cooked through.
- Add Spinach: If you're using spinach, stir it in during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to wilt into the soup.
- Serve: Once everything is cooked and the soup is ready, ladle it into bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
