Instructions:
Saute Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened.
Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, and dried thyme. Cook for an additional minute until the herbs are fragrant.
Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice) and the fat-free chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Add Tortellini: Once boiling, add the refrigerated cheese tortellini to the pot. Cook according to the package instructions or until the tortellini are tender.
Add Spinach: Stir in the chopped fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
Season: Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve: Ladle the Weight Watchers Tortellini Soup into bowls. Optionally, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.

Tortellini Variation: Choose a refrigerated cheese tortellini with lower SmartPoints to keep the soup lighter.
Protein Addition: For added protein, consider adding cooked and shredded chicken or turkey.
Vegetable Options: Feel free to customize the soup with additional vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.
Portion Control: Be mindful of portion sizes to stay within your desired SmartPoints range.
