Looking for a new soup recipe to add to your rotation?
Then you should make this spinach tomato tortellini soup! It’s a favorite in my house: It’s hearty, thanks to the cheese tortellini. It’s full of great flavor, thanks to spices and the addition of Dorothy Lynch Dressing & Condiment. And it’s a breeze to make.
Money-saving tip: This soup is delicious topped with Parmesan cheese – either fresh or dried. The cheaper (but still delicious) option is dried Parmesan cheese. You can also sometimes find fresh Parmesan cheese on the grocery store salad bar. Buy just as much as you need.
SOUP-MAKING TIPS
Making delicious soup is all about adding layers of flavor. Here are my favorite tips for making a great pot of soup:
- Start with broth/stock/bouillon: Practically every soup starts out with a base of chicken, beef, fish or vegetable stock. But for a really delicious pot of soup, you need to take it further. Only using chicken, beef or vegetable broth would result in a pretty bland pot of soup.
- Add spices: Adding appropriate spices will up the flavor of your soup. Garlic powder and onion powder are good in most soups. Depending on the type of soup you’re making, other options are paprika, cayenne pepper, parsley, celery salt, Italian seasoning, or Mexican spice blend.
- Add sweetness/acid/heat: If your soup is lacking something, try adding some sweetener (brown sugar or honey work well in many soups), acid (a teaspoon or so of apple cider vinegar can wake a pot of soup up), or some heat (like sriracha sauce or hot sauce). In this recipe, I’ve added Dorothy Lynch Dressing & Condiment which adds slight sweetness and tang/acidity to the soup.
