Vegetable Tortellini Soup

This Vegetable Tortellini Soup is a hearty and comforting soup loaded with vegetables and cheese tortellini! Super delicious and filling!

 

Vegetable Tortellini Soup is one of those dishes I just can’t get enough of! I love soup in general, it is so warm and comforting and the perfect a fall or winter lunch!

Throw in some cheesy tortellini in the mix and I am sold! I LOVE cheese stuffed kinds of pasta so this recipe really speaks to me.

I threw in a bunch of veggies I already had on hand like zucchini, sweet potato, and kale. But, with this recipe, it is super easy to customize it however you want!

Adding the vegetables is super important and like I said any vegetables will do fine, carrots, celery, onions, spinach, etc. Everything goes well with this Tortellini Soup.

Some of our other favorite soups we have on our site include Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup, Chipotle Crack Chicken Soup and Vegetarian Taco Soup!

Why this recipe works:

• This soup is a fix it and forget about it kind of meal, so it’s easy!
• You only have to dirty one dish and it is super customizable.
• With fresh vegetables and herbs the flavor is outstanding.

 

 

I topped everything with a sprinkling of Parmigiano- Reggiano. Can you blame me?! Any excuse to add Parmesan I’m all for it!

Alternatives and Add-Ons:

Take this recipe, like most recipes, as a starting point to make your own customizable soup! Don’t like carrots? No problem, take them out and add another veggie you do like, like broccoli!

This Vegetable Tortellini Soup is also vegetarian, I used vegetable stock for it, but if you really like chicken stock, use that instead! Add a cube of chicken tomato bouillon to really add a flavorful punch!

Add more toppings like fresh herbs, pesto, shredded chicken, or even serve with grilled cheese on the side, go nuts! This recipe is really how you want to make it. 

This is what I like about soups like this is that you have a starting base that you can really build off and make it your own.

How to make Vegetable Tortellini Soup:

1. In a large pot over medium-low heat, add the olive oil, onion, carrot, pepper, and sweet potato. Add a pinch of salt, stir to combine. Cover and let cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until onions are translucent.
2. Add zucchini, squash, thyme, bay leaf, and garlic to the pot, add a pinch of salt and stir to combine. Saute 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients except for the tortellini and garnish. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
3. Add the tortellini to the pot and simmer per the directions on the back of the package. My package said to simmer for 6 minutes. Garnish with Parmesan, optional. 

How to store:

This Vegetable Tortellini Sou will last about 5 days in the refrigerator when properly stored in an airtight container such as a Tupperware container.

This can also be frozen. To freeze cook your soup all the way up until you add the tortellini. Do not add the tortellini to the soup when freezing.

Let cool and place in a freezer bag and freeze, this will keep for up to 2 months in the freezer. To re-heat you can let defrost in the refrigerator over night or in the microwave.

Then bring your soup to a boil and add your tortellini and serve.
