Posted Mar 22, 2020, Updated Apr 22, 2024 If you’re looking for a quick & easy, nutritious meal – you will love this tortellini soup recipe (along with this lemon tortellini sauce, spinach tortellini and easy vegetable soup). It’s loaded with veggies, easy to make, hearty & healthy. We love serving it with a side of homemade bread – especially homemade french bread or easy no knead bread. This tortellini soup is very versatile. You can also add sausage, ground beef/turkey, etc. if you’d like to increase the protein content of the soup. Or substitute your favorite vegetables or beans that to customize it to your tastes.
Tortellini Soup Recipe: Ingredients & Substitutions
Tortellini: I suggest using fresh or frozen tortellini. If you choose dried tortellini, you will have to cook it separately then add it to the soup. Vegetable broth: Chicken broth is a great substitute. Veggies and beans: Use your favorite beans and vegetables. Minced Garlic and onions: You can substitute these ingredients with ½ tsp garlic powder and ½ tsp onion powder.
How to Make Tortellini Soup
As I said before, this tortellini soup recipe is so easy to make, but we’ll walk through the steps together to ensure your success. Begin by sautéing the vegetables, onions and garlic in olive oil until they are soft. Since this recipe is ready in 30 minutes the vegetables need to be cooked before adding broth. Next, add the broth & seasonings and bring to a boil. Make sure to stir the broth so everything is evenly distributed. Then add the tortellini and boil until the pasta has finished cooking.
Serve
This tortellini soup is a delicious, well-balanced meal ready on the stovetop in under 30 minutes! It tastes delicious served with a side of bread (especially no knead bread or french bread). We like to garnish with extra parmesan cheese and some fresh herbs like basil or parsley.
Store or Freeze
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Reheat
Simply warm the soup in the microwave or on the stovetop! Here are my answers to some commonly asked questions about this tortellini soup recipe!
