Ingredients
Scale
8.5 ounces jar of sun-dried tomatoes with Italian seasoning divided
1 cup frozen, sliced carrots
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
½ Tablespoon Italian seasoning
3 cups vegetable broth
15 ounces can of tomato sauce
12 ounces package of spinach and cheese tortellini
1 cup frozen, chopped spinach
1½ cups heavy cream
Fresh grated parmesan cheese optional garnish
Fresh chopped basil optional garnish
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of the reserved oil from the sun-dried tomato jar in a large saucepan or stockpot over medium heat. Set the drained tomatoes aside for later.
Add the frozen carrots, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning to the hot oil. Sauté for 3–5 minutes, stirring often, until the carrots begin to soften and the mixture becomes fragrant.
Pour in the vegetable broth, tomato sauce, and the reserved sun-dried tomatoes, discarding any remaining oil. Stir well to combine.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then add the tortellini and frozen spinach. Cover and simmer for 10–15 minutes, or until the tortellini are tender and the broth thickens into a hearty soup.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the heavy cream until fully incorporated.
Serve warm, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil, if desired.
