CHEESE TORTELLINI SOUP W/ KIELBASA, WHITE BEANS, SPINACH RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Cheese Tortellini Soup w/ Kielbasa, White Beans, Spinach Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by mytastytreasures

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 Tablespoons olive oil
12 oz thinly sliced fully cooked
smoked kielbasa
1/2 cup diced onion
4 cloves garlic ,minced
1 1/2 teaspoons choped fresh thyme or
1/2 teaspoon dried
Scant 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
5 cans chicken broth (low salt) 14 oz
each
1 can diced tmatoes with liquid (I
use fire roasted) 14.5 oz
1 can (15 oz) white cannellini beans,
rinsed and drained
1 pkg. 9oz fresh cheese tortellini
1/2 bunch fresh spinach, rinsed,
dried, tough stems removed
Grated Parmesan cheese , for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the kielbasa, garlic, onion, thyme, and red pepper flakes and saute until browned, about 12 minutes. ( I threw the garlic in after about 8 minutes of cooking.. didn't want it to burn.) Add the broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil . Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the beans and tortellini to the soup. Simmer until the pasta is just tender to the bite, about 10 minutes. Stir the spinach into the soup and turn off the heat; let stand for about 2 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving. ** Please note , add tortellini at another time if you aren't going to eat this all right away. It will become mushy if stored and absorbs some of the soup. I recommend boiling it as needed al dente, then throwing it in the soup for a couple of minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh tortellini, beans, and spinach will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the tortellini. Cook according to the package instructions for al dente results.
  • Sauté the vegetables thoroughly. This will help bring out their flavor and make them more tender.
  • Add the tortellini and beans to the vegetables and cook until heated through. Don't overcook or else you will end up with too soft tortellini
  • Stir in the spinach and cook until just wilted. Overcooking will make the spinach too soft.
  • Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

This cheese tortellini with beans and spinach recipe is a quick and easy meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight. It's also a great way to use up leftover tortellini or beans. The combination of cheese tortellini, beans, and spinach is hearty and satisfying, and the creamy sauce is flavorful and delicious. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Enjoy!
