Spinach Soup with Tortellini

WARM SOUP

Nice Italian style Spinach Soup is excellent any day of the year. It’s fresh tasting and wonderfully light and delicious. Definitely try this soup I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

My love affair with spinach dates back many years ago. From spinach salads to creamed spinach and this Spinach Soup that my grandmother made. This soup is filled with tortellini and finished with fontina cheese melted on top. You just can’t beat the combination of flavors.

As with any soup that I make I prefer homemade stock, but if time doesn’t allow, canned stock will work just fine. As for the spinach, the fresher the better. Also I sometimes make double the amount and freeze the rest for another time.
