Spinach tortellini minestrone soup with a kick of spice! This twist on the classic vegetable soup is full with flavor and good for you ingredients.
I have been craving hearty minestrone soup like crazy this season. Maybe with all the indulging over the holidays, the abundance of vegetables just sounds so satisfying to me. However, it’s still so filling and satisfying. I wanted to put a twist on the classic minestrone by adding a little bit of spice and spinach tortellini. I get the spinach tortellini from Trader Joe’s [3] and I absolutely love it.
For the spice I added Trader Joe’s Italian bomba sauce. If you don’t like spice, I would leave this ingredient out. Also, if you don’t have access to a Trader Joe’s – you can get Calabrian chili paste at a lot grocery stores, Italian markets or online here [4]. A little goes a long way this stuff so be careful! Maybe add a little, taste then add more if need be. It has great flavor and goes perfectly with this veggie packed soup.
