- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian herbs (or a mix of basil, oregano, and sage)

First, prepare our spice mix. Use a mortar and pestle to create a coarse mix. If not, a spice grinder will work too.
Chop your vegetables and proteins. If using walnuts, pecans, chickpeas, or sausage, combine them into a coarse mix.
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add garlic and cook for a few seconds.
Add the protein mix and cook for a minute, then add 3/4 of the spice mix, stir well, and cook for another minute.
Add onion, carrot, celery, and half of the salt. Cook for 3-5 minutes, splashing with water as needed to ensure even cooking.
Add flour, then add tomato puree and the remaining salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes to deepen the flavor.
Add vegetable broth and Italian herbs, bring to a boil. Add tortellini and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Add water or broth to cool slightly, then add plant-based cream/yogurt and spinach. Taste and adjust salt and spices.
Top with vegan parmesan and fresh basil before serving. You can add red pepper flakes if desired. Enjoy!
