I’ve had this soup recipe waiting to be posted for weeks. Probably since around Christmas time. It was absolutely, incredibly delicious. But when January rolled around, I came down with a major case of Spring fever and I’ve been boycotting winter-y recipes ever since. I actually do eat soup all year round, but I usually don’t make soup all year round. This is my very last soup recipe for the season. Farewell Winter… I will not miss you!
The thing I love about soups like this is how easy they are to make and how quickly they come together. We’re talking less than thirty minutes to get dinner on the table. And not a hot-n-ready pizza, this is quality Italian rich n’ creamy soup we’re having for dinner. The artichoke-spinach-garlicky-tortellini combo is fantastic! If you’re considering a farewell to soup season, this Creamy Spinach Artichoke Soup is the recipe to finish it off with a bang!

Hi, this soup looks great. Curious, how far in advance can it be made?
OMG! This came out so good….we added hot sauce and lots of extra parm. I didn’t have tortellini so I used Campanelle noodles and they were perfect because they gave you a big mouthful of soup in every bite.
Oh my, this looks absolutely delicious. Does it taste sort of like spinach artichoke dip? I bet it would be tasty with some chicken added to it, too. Yum!
