Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 stalks Celery stalks, diced
• 1 medium Carrot, diced
• 1 medium Zucchini, diced
• 1 medium Bell pepper, diced
• 1 pound Ground beef (85% lean)
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 6 cups Beef broth
• 1 14-ounce can Diced tomatoes
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 12 ounces Keto-friendly tortellini
• 4 cups Baby spinach leaves
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 2

Add the diced celery, carrot, zucchini, and bell pepper to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 3

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 6-7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional minute to release the spices' aroma.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth and add the diced tomatoes with their juice, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Add the keto-friendly tortellini to the pot. Continue simmering for the time recommended on the tortellini package, usually about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender.

Step 8

Stir in the baby spinach and let it wilt for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf, and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.

Step 10

Serve the soup hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Enjoy!
