Easy Tortellini Soup Recipe: Ingredients & Substitutions 

This soup is super versatile and I’m almost positive there is no way it could be ruined {unless you add too much salt}! Here are a few possible substitutions:

• Tortellini: I think that fresh tortellini works the best in this soup! I buy the large, double packages from Costco and use half of one container (about 12 oz) in this recipe. I freeze the rest in 12 oz portions to use later! If you can’t eat dairy you can substitute tortellini for any kind of pasta you like. Please note the cooking method above if you choose to use dried pasta!
• Vegetable broth: Chicken broth can be used in place of vegetable broth, but then this will not be a vegetarian tortellini soup! 
• Veggies and beans: Feel free to substitute your favorite beans and veggies! Really the sky’s the limit with what you can toss in this soup! 
• Minced Garlic and onions: If you have picky eaters who wouldn’t love the strong flavors of onion and garlic, you can replace these ingredients with 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1/2 tsp onion powder. 

How do you 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!

Sauté the Vegetables

Preparing this tortellini soup recipe is SO simple. Sauté 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!

Add broth & seasonings. 

Next, add broth & seasonings and bring to a boil. Make sure to stir the broth so everything is evenly distributed.

Add tortellini and finish cooking 

Please note, this recipe calls for fresh or frozen tortellini. If you are using a dried variety of tortellini or pasta (shelf-stable) you must cook it separately, drain, and then add it to the soup fully cooked. If you try to cook dried pasta in this soup it will soak up all of the liquid and leave you with a pot of veggies & noodles without broth, very un-soup like.

Serve 

This tortellini soup is an awesome, well-balanced meal ready on the stovetop in under 30 minutes! You really can’t beat that! Serve it with a  side of pretzel bread,  homemade dinner rolls, homemade biscuits or whole wheat focaccia bread and everyone in your family will be begging for more! Also sprinkle a touch of parmesan cheese for an extra special flavor!

How to store tortellini soup: 

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. 

To reheat: 

Simply warm the soup in the microwave or on the stovetop!
