Equipment

  • Large Saucepan or Dutch Oven

Ingredients  

  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup yellow onion, diced
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced or diced
  • ¾ cup celery, sliced or diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with the juices, 14.5 ounces
  • 2 ½ cups cooked turkey, shredded
  • 9 ounces cheese tortellini
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions 

  • In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add onions, carrots, and celery and cook until vegetables begin to soften, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30-60 seconds.
