Equipment

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus extra for drizzling
1 large sweet onion
3 large carrots sliced
2 stalks celery chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
6 cups Vegetable Stock
1 18 ounce package frozen cheese tortellini
1 14-ounce can white beans cannellini or navy beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups fresh greens spinach or kale

Instructions

In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the onions, carrots, celery, salt, and saute for 5 or 6 minutes until the veggies begin to soften.
Add in the Italian seasoning and the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then cover and let simmer for 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Add the tortellini directly into the boiling soup. Continue to cook until the tortellini are cooked through (mine took 3-4 minutes).
Add the white beans, spinach, and fresh chopped kale or spinach.
Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve tortellini and bean soup in a bowl, and top with a drizzle of olive oil on top, serve hot.

Notes

Additions and Substitutions

I used cheese tortellini, but you can use pesto tortellini, a tricolored tortellini, or another variety if you prefer. I've seen some vegan versions out there with tofu filling too if you want a plant-based version.

Use any beans you have on hand - if you can't find white beans, you can use chickpeas, kidney beans, or black beans for a tasty variation.

Add more protein - you can use cooked tofu, tempah, seitan, or meat (for a non-vegetarian version) which is easy to add in. Make sure it's cooked before adding.
