It may be warming up outside, but it’s always soup season! A warm-weather soup can be a great meal for your family to enjoy in spring and summer.

Eating soup in colder months is warming and comforting. But, did you know eating hot soup on a hot day can actually bring your body temperature down? Some research has shown that under certain conditions, eating a hot food or beverage can actually lower your body temperature. 

In light of this spoonful of information, here’s a recipe from local chef, Josephine Gardell. Gardell is a health supportive chef who combines traditional preparation techniques using whole foods. A graduate of the Natural Gourmet Institute in NYC, Gardell has been working as a natural foods chef and cooking instructor for kids and adults since 2016.

And now, enjoy this delicious warm-weather soup recipe now, or any time of year!

Easy Vegetable Tortellini Soup:

INGREDIENTS: 

2 tablespoons olive oil 

1 cup carrots, peeled and sliced thin (about 1 1/2 large carrots) 

1 cup celery, sliced thin (about 2 stalks) 

1 medium onion, chopped 

1 garlic clove, minced 

64 ounces (8 cups) Swanson low-sodium chicken broth 

2 cups frozen cheese tortellini  

  4 cups fresh spinach leaves 

6-8 sprigs of fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves 

 1 bay leaf 

1 teaspoon kosher salt 

1/2 teaspoon black pepper 

DIRECTIONS: 

To a large stockpot, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat to warm. Add the carrots, celery, onion, parsley, garlic and sauté for about 7 minutes, or  until vegetables begin to soften. Stir often. 

Add the chicken broth, bay leaf and bring to a boil. Allow mixture to boil gently for  15-20 minutes or until vegetables are tender.  

Add the tortellini and simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off heat. Add spinach, salt, pepper and stir gently. 

Remove bay leaf before serving.
