Coming home to a cozy hot bowl of pasta soup after a long day, is pure dinner bliss.
As a kid my mom “Pam the Great,” would make huge batches of soup in her metal tin pot. As it cooked, the smell of sweet garlicky chicken soup permeated the whole house like a warm comforting blanket. This recipe reminds me of that same smell of my mom’s soup from when I was a kid.
I love coming home from cracking (I am a Chiropractor) to a dinner that cooked for me while I was at work. Also, Tom loves this soup because it includes his favorite veggie is spinach. I hope this recipe makes life so much easier for you. Remember you can do anything and deserve a delicious meal to celebrate you!
Cooking Hack That Makes This Recipe Weeknight Worthy:
- Put all the ingredients in the slow cooker the night before and place in the fridge overnight! This serves two fun purposes. First, when you wake up plug it in and go to work easy. Secondly, letting it sit overnight gives the veggies time to marinade and the seasoning the broth. This will make it super tasty!

How can I make this on stove in a Dutch oven pot?
Jay says
Hi Mary!
Now problem!
1. Put all the veggies in the pot with 2 tablespoons of oil. Add salt pepper and the other seasonings. Stir and cook 5 minutes.
2. Next add the liquids and bring to boil. Then reduce to simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
3. Then add the tortellini and cook 10 minutes. That is its!
Hope this helps and happy cooking!

This is one I will try next week for sure… I wonder if you could make it with beef stock OR chicken stock?
Jay says
Hi Mary Ann! Happy Cooking! Sure you can use beef, veggie, or chicken stock. I think the lighter stocks work bests (chicken or veggie). Let me now what you think. I am so grateful for your comment!
