HEALTHY TUSCAN VEGETABLE SOUP

This Tuscan Vegetable Soup is gluten-free, vegetarian, clean-eating and low carb. The best part? Is it SO GOOD! Celebrate!! We’ve had some lovely rainy days here in Los Angeles lately! We definitely need it, so it’s been really nice (although it’s messing with my work flow since I want to sit with a book in my hands on those rainy days and not work! Lol!)

When it rains, I crave something warm and comforting. Tuscan Vegetable Soup is always one of my favorite things to make that will warm you up but is actually healthy too!

There are tons of nutrients packed inside this italian-style recipe. Six vegetable varieties – plus cannellini beans – makes it an excellent source of fiber, vitamins A and C, and a good source of protein and minerals. All of this for only 150 calories per serving!!

I bet you’re reading this and thinking, “yeah, but does it taste good?”. It’s hard to believe that all those vegetables and really, not many steps/ingredients can yield an incredibly tasty soup that you will make and want to make again and again. But, it’s true.

This is a recipe you will want in your back pocket for any rainy day, or any day you want a healthy meal that will satisfy and taste delicious. Plus did I mention it’s gluten-free, vegetarian, clean-eating and low carb?! Winner dinner! Or lunch…

SPINACH TORTELLINI SOUP: AN EASY TORTELLINI SOUP RECIPE

Over the weekend our big girl wasn’t feeling so well, and she asked me to make some soup. There’s no way to really feel good when your kids don’t, but simmering a big pot of comforting and nourishing tortellini soup by special request may be about the closest you can get.

She’d initially asked for our bare-bones basic orzo in broth, which only comes out when someone’s really under the weather. But I amortized my law degree with some light negotiation and upgraded us to spinach tortellini soup. This pot of goodness packs more nutrients and also doubled as a way to feed the whole family dinner that night without cooking twice. The 12 year old is smart, has good taste, and even as a tween is pretty good at picking her battles, so she was happy to oblige. Tortellini soup for all.

The goal was to pack lots of flavor and nourishment into a bowl that still came across as very simple. I’d say we succeeded without question. (Why am I unafraid to sing the praises of my food despite 40 years of consistent self-deprecating tendencies that I have to hope are charming? Oh, never mind, I’m 40 and don’t care.)


Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced small
  • 2 large carrots, diced small
  • 2 large celery stalks, diced small
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 8 cups good low-sodium vegetable stock
  • 5 ounces baby spinach
  • 9 ounces tortellini
  • 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Grated parmesan or pecorino, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, celery and salt and stir to coat with oil. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften. If you happen to get distracted and the veggies brown a little bit, it'll add some nice depth of flavor.
