Tip
For a chunkier soup, use 28 ounces of canned diced tomatoes. Another option is to use one 14.5-ounce can each of crushed and diced tomatoes.
Step 1
In a large pot over medium heat, warm the butter. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and flour and whisk until thick, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Slowly add the broth and mix well. Add the tomatoes and spices. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, mixing continously.
Step 3
Add the tortellini and heavy cream. Stir until heated through, about 10 minutes or according to the tortellini's directions. Stir in spinach and mix until wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Top with fresh Parmesan and serve immediately. Enjoy!
