Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced carrots, celery, and onion, and sauté for about 5 minutes, until they start to soften.

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaves, fresh thyme, and dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 5

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Step 6

Add the dairy-free cheese tortellini to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 7-9 minutes, until they are tender.

Step 7

In the last 2 minutes of cooking, stir in the spinach to let it wilt.

Remove the bay leaves, stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice, and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve hot and enjoy your hearty dairy-free chicken tortellini soup!
