Preparation
- In a large saucepan heated over medium-high heat, add the chickpeas followed by a good drizzle of olive oil and stir. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes to colour. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
- In the same pan over medium heat, add the onion followed by a drizzle of olive oil and toss. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, to soften.
- Add the chickpeas, beer, season with salt and pepper then mix. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring.
- Add the tomatoes, chicken broth and spices then season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce to low heat and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and add the tortellini and spinach. Mix for a few minutes to cook the spinach and warm the tortellini. Serve with your favourite baguette!
Cheese tortellini are perfect, but you can also try :
– Tortellini with spinach and ricotta for a more herbaceous touch.
– Tortellini with chicken for a higher protein version.
– Tortellini with mushrooms for a more earthy, umami flavor.
For an even tastier soup, use fresh herbs, garlic and onion, which add depth of flavor. You can also add a vegetable or poultry stock cube to enhance the flavors. Chef’s tip: pan-fry your vegetables before boiling them! This step lightly caramelizes the ingredients and releases the cooking juices, which will enrich your broth for an even more intense taste. 🔥🥣
Of course you can! Replace it with :
– White wine for a slightly more refined touch.
– Chicken or vegetable broth for a non-alcoholic version.
– A little lemon juice to keep the acidity balanced.
