  3. Add chopped zucchini to the pot and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

  5. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  6. After simmering, add cheese tortellini to the pot, cooking according to package instructions, about 7-10 minutes.
  7. Once tortellini is ready, fold in fresh spinach and stir until wilted, which takes about 2 minutes.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired.
