Mom's Tortellini Soup

I think everyone makes this, which may be why it hasn't ended up here yet, but I thought I would throw it in for posterity.  This is easily my family's favorite soup, especially Leah. (Original recipe found here).

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
  • 6 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried rosemary
  • 12 ounces fresh meat-filled tortellini or 12 ounces cheese-filled tortellini or 9 ounces fresh ravioli
  • 3 cups chopped fresh spinach leaves or 10 ounces thawed and drained package frozen leaf spinach
  • sea salt, to taste
  • fresh ground pepper, to taste
  • freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for topping
Instructions
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and saute five minutes or until softened. 
  • Add tomato, and cook 1 minute. 
  • Stir in broth and rosemary, and bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, covered, five minutes. 
  • Add pasta, stirring to blend, and simmer five to six minutes more.
  • Add spinach, salt, and pepper. Simmer, stirring often, three minutes or until spinach is wilted and pasta is just tender. 
  • Ladle soup into bowls, and sprinkle with cheese.
