Spinach Tortellini Tomato Soup – Hearty, delicious, yet quick and easy tomato soup, packed with spinach and tortellini.
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!
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. AÂ 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 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!
Debbie Gaydos says
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!
Katerina Petrovska says
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!!
Kathy says
I have the same recipe. But it does not include the Tomato Sauce but it includes 8ozs of cream cheese. OMG
Danae says
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!
Katerina Petrovska says
Thank you, Danae!! Very happy that you enjoyed it. I am taking note of your delicious add-ins! 🙂
Danae says
A hit once again. Used a full pound of mild Italian sausage. Awesome!
Katerina Petrovska says
YUMMMM! Thanks so much, Danae!!
cass says
I just made this for dinner and I thought it was delicious 🙂 My husband is not a fan of the chunkyness in the soup from the onions and crushed tomatoes so next time I would puree the soup before adding the broth. I also thought it was a little watery (I like thicker soups though) so next time I’d boil out the broth a little more before adding tortellini and spinach. Thanks for the recipe!
Katerina Petrovska says
No chunkyness in soup?! 😉 My husband is a little iffy on texture as well! 🙂 Glad you enjoyed it, though!! Happy New Year!
Rachel says
i made this soup tonight….absolutely wonderful!!! thanks for the great recipe!
sarah says
Spaghetti sauce?? You mean like pasta sauce?
Katerina Petrovska says
Hi Sarah!
Yes, pasta sauce will do! 🙂
Deborah says
I made this for dinner a couple of nights ago, and the whole family loved it!! The kids loved that there was tortellini in the soup, and I love that so much flavor comes from the spaghetti sauce. It did make way more than we could eat, so I froze half of it and I’m hoping it will freeze well so we will have a delicious dinner for another night!
Katerina Petrovska says
That’s so awesome! Thank you, Deborah!!
Julie says
Did it freeze well?
Jessica says
Made this tonight for dinner and it’s amazing! A keeper for sure!
Katerina Petrovska says
Thanks, Jessica!! Happy to know that you enjoyed it!
Diana says
Yummyyyy this looks so perfect especially with the rainy weather. Will be cooking this for thanksgiving dinner since my fiance is coming over 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Kayla says
I just made this soup – It is so flavourful! I halved the recipe and added 2 cups water with a vegetable bouillon cube instead of broth. After that the soup was pretty watery so I let it simmer w/o a lid for ten minutes before adding the tortellini for ten minutes more and adding the spinach at the end. Definitely a keeper!
Katerina Petrovska says
Hi Kayla!! Glad you loved the soup! Around here, it’s on rotation every other week. 🙂
Taylor says
Thank goodness South Texas has finally realized fall is here! I am definitely going to make this soup for dinner tonight! Just need to run to the store. I am also going to add Italian sausage to make it a bit heartier (and so the men will eat it too). Can’t wait!
Katerina Petrovska says
When I first made this soup, my husband asked, “where’s the meat??”. hahaha :))) ENJOY!!
Lindsey @ Baking Bytes says
This looks amazing! One question: when you say tomato sauce do you mean unseasoned or more like spaghetti sauce? You have it listed in cups instead of cans so I’m not sure. 🙂
Katerina Petrovska says
Hi Lindsey!!
Yes, something like spaghetti sauce. 😀 I’ll make note of that in the recipe asap. Thank you!!!
Lindsey @ Baking Bytes says
Perfect, thanks! I know what I’m making for dinner tomorrow. =)
Amis Vegetarian says
Tried it yesterday for dinner. What an amazing combination. Never really tried including Tortellini in my soups before. Filling bowl with nutrition and amazing flavors!
Kristen says
I’m all for souping us on out during the cold months! nothing better if we have to deal with the cold 🙂
Julie @ Julie's Eats & Treats says
I’m totally picturing you jamming out dancing right now. LOVE soup right now and totally agree it’s the LONGEST season ever for sure! And yes our mothers are the only reason we stay 🙂
Crystal says
What a delicious soup!! It finally “cooled” down here in Texas. We were 68 yesterday which is quite cool for us…lol. Can’t wait to make this soup!!
Laura (Tutti Dolci) says
I have to make this soup asap, what could be better with fresh baked bread?! Perfect fall/winter comfort food!
Emily @ Life on Food says
Going to the store now so this soup can be dinner. Love!
Ramona says
This soup makes a perfect dinner for the cool weather (and rainy) weather we are having. I would love a big bowl!! 🙂
A_Boleyn says
Your tortellini soup is so delicious looking that I regretted not having a bag of frozen tortellini available so I could make it immediately. I like Campbell’s cream of tomato soup when I’m in a hurry and have no energy to make anything more demanding than soup and a grilled cheese sammy but your soup is very hearty and ‘stick to your rib-by’ for a hungry family. I love the chorizo, rice and bean one on the page as well.
amanda @ fake ginger says
I cannot watch Iyanla. Too much emotion. All the feels. Ugh.
This soup looks amazing! Tomato soup is my fave but I haven’t figured out a way to get my kids to eat it yet – gotta try this on them!
Anna @ Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
I just had a flashback with the music songs you mentioned! You have me laughing out loud!! 😀
Love this soup as I am a huge tortellini fan! Pinned!
Julie @ This Gal Cooks says
I used to do the same thing while I was getting ready for school. I HAD to blast music. It was my motivation to get on with the day!
LOVE this soup, Kate! Tomato soup isn’t a soup that I typically eat. I need more substance to my soup – chunks of veggies, meat, rice or pasta. The tortellini in your tomato soup adds that substance I need!
