Creamy Tortellini Soup

I’ve always been a huge fan of cheese tortellini and it’s even better in a creamy soup. This soup combines simple flavours of sundried tomatoes, garlic and spinach with tender tortellini - perfect for a weeknight dinner. The tortellini can be made ahead!

Ingredients

For pasta dough: (Makes 40 (store-bought works fine too!))

• 2 cups flour
• 3 eggs

For filling:

• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded gouda or mozzerella
• 1 garlic clove grated
• 1 tbsp fresh basil & parsely
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of dried oregano
• Pepper to taste

For soup:

• 3 tbsp butter
• 1/2 sweet onion
• 2 celery stalks
• 1 carrot
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano, basil
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3 tbsp tomato paste
• 5 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup crushed tomatoes
• 1/2 cup Ontario Whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
• 2 cups of fresh spinach
• 1 can of navy beans

Instructions

For tortellini:

1. Add flour to a work surface and create a well in the centre. Add the eggs and use a fork to gradually mix in the eggs. When it forms a shaggy dough, knead for 7-10 minutes or until it bounces back when poked. Cover in plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge for half an hour.
2. In a bowl, combine the filling ingredients and add to a piping bag.
3. When the dough is ready, roll out to desired thickness (I used up to setting 6 on my pasta attachment and cut into small squares.
4. Add a tsp of filling to each square and fold into a triangle. Then fold both corners in a cross over one another, creating a tortellini.
5. When ready to add into soup, boil in salted water for 1-2 minutes and add into soup, allowing the tortellinis to finish cooking in the broth.

For soup:

1. Dice onion, celery and carrots. Heat a large pot on medium heat and add butter. Add veggies and sauté for 7-10 minutes or until translucent. Add tomato paste, garlic and dried seasonings and cook for another 3 minutes.
2. Add crushed tomatoes and broth and bring to a simmer on medium heat for 10-15 minutes. When it reaches a simmer, add milk and cream. Season to taste.
3. Add the lightly cooked tortellini, beans, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes and stir to wilt the spinach. Allow to simmer until the tortellini reach desired texture and serve :)
