This brothy, vegetable-packed soup—ready in just 25 minutes—features store-bought tortellini that makes it heartier and tastier. The cheese tortellini keeps this dish meatless but you can use whatever variety you like. The spinach is added at the very end, and cooked just until wilted before being pulled off the heat. The result is softened spinach that hasn’t gotten too mushy—you want it to still have some texture. Baby spinach is a good choice here since the tender stems don’t need to be removed before being added the soup. Serve it with a slice of crusty French bread to sop up the flavorful broth.
