Ingredients

1 TBSP olive oil
2 cups diced yellow onion
3 carrots
3-4 cloves garlic
3 cups broth (vegetable or chicken)
28 oz canned crushed tomatoes
½ tsp dried basil
¼ tsp dried thyme
⅛ tsp dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste (I added 1/4 tsp of each)
9-10 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
15 oz canned cannelini beans (drained and rinsed)
2 cups chopped fresh baby spinach
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese plus extra to taste
crushed red pepper flakes to taste, optional
fresh torn basil and/or rosemary to taste, optional

Instructions

Peel and finely dice your carrots and onion. Peel 4 cloves of fresh garlic and finely mince.
Heat 1 TBSP oil or butter in a large pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add onion and carrots. Sauté until tender, approx. 5-6 minutes, adding garlic at the last 30 seconds or so.
Add 3 cups broth, entire container of crushed tomatoes, basil, thyme, and oregano, then stir to combine. Bring soup to a rolling boil then reduce heat to low/simmer to allow the flavors to mingle and the carrots/onion to fully soften. Cover and simmer 5-10 minutes.
Once the veggies have reached your ideal tenderness, bring the soup back up to a medium simmer and add your fresh tortellini and cannelini beans. Allow the tortellini to simmer approx. 5 minutes until fully cooked and softened.
Lastly chop your spinach and stir into the hot soup to wilt the greens. If desired you can add an extra cup of broth. Give it a taste and season with salt and black pepper as desired. Add a sprinkle of freshly grated parmesan plus your favorite toppings and dive in while it's hot!

Notes

The leftover soup is DELICIOIUS and will keep a few days in the refrigerator. Simply reheat via microwave (it's a great grab and go work lunch!) or in a small pot on the stovetop until heated through.
