Can I use frozen tortellini?
Yes. Frozen tortellini works fine; just add a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time. Check the package instructions and cook until the tortellini are tender and floating.
How can I make this soup lighter?
Use half-and-half or a mix of milk and cream instead of all heavy cream, and reduce the Parmesan slightly. You can also add more broth to thin the soup while keeping it flavorful.
How do I store and reheat leftovers?
Cool the soup completely, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low to medium heat, adding a splash of broth or water if it has thickened.
Can I make this soup ahead of time?
You can make the broth, cream, and spinach base ahead and store it separately. For the best texture, cook and add the tortellini just before serving so it stays firm and doesn’t soak up too much liquid.
