Pro tip: I’d serve it with a nice toasty buttery piece of garlic bread for dipping up all that extra delicious broth! Hope you enjoy it!
Few Important Tips!
- Want to get some extra fiber in this dish? Add in some spinach, kale, or frozen mixed vegetables for added nutrition.
- What’s the best tortellini to use? I love the 4 cheese Bertagni brand tortellini from Whole Foods – it comes in the refrigerated section but Trader Joe’s also has many options.
- What can you serve this with? All that extra broth in this soup deservers a piece of crusty, buttery garlic bread for dipping!
- Want to add more protein? Ground sausage or pork would be delicious but even a quick addition of some sliced chicken sausages would do the trick.
- To make the prep easier- simply peel and chop the vegetables a day before! I also always peel and blend garlic every few weeks and then freeze the minced garlic in ice cube trays with lids! Then you just have to pop out a little cube of garlic as needed in recipes.
Is Tortellini Soup Vegetarian Friendly?
It sure is! It’s naturally vegetarian and loaded with healthy ingredients! You can make it even heartier by adding in your favorite beans (white beans or kidney beans would be a great addition). But it’s also a very versatile recipe – you can easily add in andouille sausage or shredded chicken (rotisserie is super easy!)
How Long Will the Leftovers Last?
Sealed in an air-tight container in the fridge, this soup is even better on the second and third day! The tortellini will absorb alot of the broth, so add in some milk or cream when reheating to get it back to the right consistency.
Few Important Tools for Super Simple Soup Making!
The full list of ingredients and tools are listed in the recipe but here are a few favorite brand-specific items that are personal faves!
- Global Vegetable Knife for chopping
- Le Creuset Signature Round Dutch Oven (my fave for soups!)
- Lucini Extra Virgin Olive Oil (the best quality and taste!)
- Refrigerated Tortellini ( I love Bertagni brand from Whole Foods- all the flavors are delicious!)
- This soup spoon is so great for other meals like dals and curries too.

Really good! We like our soups on the thicker side so i swapped heavy cream with 1/2 cup half n half with about 3 tbsp flour whisked in. Easy swap!
Incredible dish! Whole family loved it
solid recipe. Could even add ground italian sausage for the non-veggie eaters…reminds me of a zuppa toscana
This was so good! I skipped the chili flakes (and left out the tomatoes coz we DIDN’T have any) and my kids said it was the best dinner ever! We had no leftovers. it was so easy to make too!
