Ingredients:

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil (optional, for fewer points, skip the oil)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 medium zucchinis, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • ¾ teaspoon table salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 43 ½ fluid ounces low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 can (14 ½ ounces) diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup water
  • 9 ounces refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini
  • 4 cups baby spinach, loosely packed or chopped fresh spinach
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Instructions:

  1. Sauté the vegetables: In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to soften (about 3 minutes). Add the zucchini and cook for another 3 minutes, until it’s crisp-tender. Then, add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir constantly for 30 seconds until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  2. Add liquids and cook the tortellini: Stir in the vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, and water. Cover the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, add the refrigerated tortellini and cook according to the package instructions.
  3. Finish the soup: Once the tortellini is cooked, stir in the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts, about 1 minute.
  4. Serve and garnish: Ladle the soup evenly into 6 bowls. Top each bowl with a sprinkle of fresh basil and grated Pecorino Romano cheese.
