Ingredients

250 gr tortellini filled pasta (cheese)
2 carrots
4 tomatoes
½ onion white
2 cloves garlic
1 red sweet italian pepper
2 tbl spoon olive oil
1 tbl spoon tomato paste
600 ml vegetable broth
1 tea spoon harissa or similar
1 tea spoon oregano
200 ml passata
100 gr young spinach
salt and pepper

Instructions

Rinse the tomatoes and red pepper and cut into pieces. Peel the onion and chop finely. Grate the garlic cloves. Grate the carrots and cut into slices. Put 2 each olive oil in a deep pot and stew these vegetables for about 2 minutes.
Add the vegetable stock and simmer until all the vegetables are tender. Blend this with a blender or blender. (I blend it coarsely, with some bits left). Put the pot back on the heat.
Cook the tortellini until tender according to the instructions on the packet. Keep it ‘al dente’ as it can cook further in the soup. Drain and set aside for a while
Add the passata to the soup, tomato concentrate, harissa (or spicy herbs), oregano and fresh spinach leaves. Stir well until the spinach leaves have shrunk. Season with salt and pepper if necessary. If you want the soup less consistent, add some more water.
Finally, add the tortellini and reheat thoroughly. Serve with fresh baguette or flatbread. To finish, you can optionally add some soy cream. We sometimes eat this for lunch but also for dinner. There are so many vegetables in it that it really is a nutritious dish.

Notes

Tortellini soup is the ultimate comfort food, and this version takes it to the next level with a rich, creamy base and an abundance of fresh vegetables. Carrot, tomato, garlic, onion and red sweet pepper provide not only deep flavour, but also a hefty dose of vitamins and fibre. The soup is hearty enough to serve as a full meal, with the soft tortellini offering a delicious contrast to the creamy texture of the broth. Perfect for cold days or when you fancy a nutritious, hearty bowl full of flavour.
