Happy Sunday, you guys!
I just had a session with the OWN Network and my Kleenex box.
That Iyanla has a way with words, you know? She made me weep like a little girl!
…I still can’t figure out how a dude can have 34 kids by 17 different women… That man was bizzay!
Also? Is it cool that I’ve got “Total Eclypse of the Heart” playing in the background? Meatloaf’s “Anything For Love” is next. N’Sync’s “Bye Bye Bye” is on there, too.
I found an old CD that I burned back in my college days on my old-as-Noah desktop computer. The monitor was so big, you couldn’t tell if it was a TV or a microwave.
I would blast this particular CD while getting ready. It took me for.evah to get ready because I had to dance to every song.
When I say dance, I mean I had the choreography down to the “T” for every song, thanks to MTV videos. Back then MTV was only about “The Real World” and Music Videos.
All I gotta say is, Thank GOD there was no smart phones back then, and social media was just an infant. There is no evidence! THANK YOU, JESUS!
SPINACH TORTELLINI TOMATO SOUP
But, yeah. TOMATO SOUP! I’m gonna soup-you-out before the season is over. Which is, like, the longest season, evvvvver!?! Why can’t I live where it’s always warm??
…Because my Mom lives here and I need her to help me with the kids… AND help me with eating all the food that comes out of my kitchen… AND I would miss her…
Want to know something? This soup is like eating Tomato Soup with a bunch of amazing stuff in it, like pasta and spinach. If you wanna dip your grilled cheese in there, you should totally do it! It’s delicious!
It’s so lovely and so rich, but sort of light at the same time. I kinda love it. A lot. The best part is that it takes about 30 minutes, from start to finish. That’s the icing on the cake.
So. It’s Sunday. If you have a pumpkin-patch-visit planned, just as I do, don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of time to get to this 30-minute meal. Just pick up a large loaf of crusty bread on your way back home. And cheese.
ENJOY!

I made this today, with a few adjustments: added about 1/2 cup each of sliced carrot and celery (sautéed with the onion) and 1 tsp of Italian seasoning. It was fantastic! I’ll definitely make it again.
That’s great! I’m very glad you enjoyed it! Thank YOU! 🙂
just found this recipe. made it and enjoyed it. However the calories are WAY OFF! Even after halving the olive oil and butter, I came up with 214 calories in 1/8 of the recipe,not 84, as stated. Still delicious
Thanks so much for letting me know about the nutritional info! This recipe was posted 5 years ago, before recipe boxes with nutrition calculators were available online. Looks like it calculated whatever was familiar (to the computer/program) and left out the most important thing; the tortellini! Again, thank you for pointing it out to me – I updated all the info. 😀
I really enjoyed this. I didn’t have the diced tomatoes the recipe called for so I used a larger can of crushed tomatoes (I’d use the diced next time, crushed was good but I’m sure diced is better!) and added Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, and crushed red pepper. I used a hot scicilian sauce because I like a little kick. I also sautéed some scallops and added them for the last 5 minutes of cooking. It was deliscious, will keep this recipe because it was an easy one to make!
I have some leftover Italian Pasta sauce (homemade), seasoned with garlic, oregano & basil. Is it OK to use? Thanks!
I think that would be great! Even more flavorful. 🙂
Is there a specific way this should be frozen?Can you freeze it with the tortellini already having been cooked?
Hi! After the soup has completely cooled – tortellini included – you can just divide it up among some quart-size ziploc bags and freeze it.
i made this for dinner tonight. It tasted awesome and was so filling! The only things I did differently was use my magic bullet to blend the diced tomatoes, cooked the tortellini in a different saucepan and added a veggie bullion cube instead of broth. Other than the garlic and onions, I didn’t add any other spices since the spaghetti sauce had so much flavor. Can’t wait to make it again!
I made this today. I’m not much of a soup-maker, but have been wanting to try some. Per some of the comments, I used an immersion blender prior to adding the tortellini and spinach. This was a HUGE hit, even with the 11 yo picky eater who spotted the spinach, lol! It was SO good. I just served with garlic bread, and put out parmesan cheese for everyone to sprinkle in to their liking. YUM!
Hi Debbie!!
Soups are my go-to. Every other day, you’ll find a soup either in my crock pot or on the stove. 😀 I’m glad you loved that soup! It’s so good! Thank you!!
I have the same recipe. But it does not include the Tomato Sauce but it includes 8ozs of cream cheese. OMG
Total keeper recipe. Added two links of Hot Italian turkey sausage and a tsp of both basil and oregano since I used plain cans of tomatoes. Fast and easy. Everyone liked it. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Danae!! Very happy that you enjoyed it. I am taking note of your delicious add-ins! 🙂
A hit once again. Used a full pound of mild Italian sausage. Awesome!
YUMMMM! Thanks so much, Danae!!
