Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 medium carrot diced
  • 1 red pepper diced
  • 400 g tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 litre hot vegetable stock
  • 2 packets of fresh spinach and ricotta tortellini 600g total
  • 100 g frozen spinach or 1 large handful shredded fresh spinach leaves
  • Small handful basil leaves

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion and cook on a low heat, stirring often until soft and golden brown. Add the garlic, cook for a minute, then add the diced carrot and pepper. Cover the pan with a lid and sweat on the lowest heat until soft. This should take 10-15 minutes.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, lemon juice, balsamic and oregano.
  • Bring to the boil then add 1 litre vegetable stock and the frozen spinach. Bring to the boil then simmer and cook until the spinach has defrosted.
  • Blend the soup at this stage if you want a smooth soup.
  • Add the tortellini to the soup and cook for 3 minutes or longer if the packet instructions say a different time (dried might take 10-12 minutes).
  • Serve with fresh basil on top and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Notes

  1. If preparing in advance don't add the tortellini until you're ready to serve as it will soak up all the liquid and become overcooked. Simply reheat the soup and add the pasta when you're ready to eat - fresh tortellini will only take 2-3 minutes to cook.
  2. Nutritional information is approximate and is intended as a guide only.
