Quick Tortellini Soup

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 5 cloves garlic, chopped
• 3 cups chicken broth, or as needed
• 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
• 1 cup spinach
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cups cheese tortellini

Directions

Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat; cook and stir garlic in the hot oil until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add tomatoes and spinach; simmer until flavors blend, about 25 minutes. Season with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Once the water is boiling, stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook until tortellini float to the top, 3 to 4 minutes; drain.

Mix tortellini into tomato mixture; simmer for 5 more minutes.
