Tortellini Vegetable Soup

Recipe Description

Tortellini & Vegetable Soup, packed with veggies and hearty cheese tortellini, this super simple soup recipe makes for a perfect dinner when you are craving Italian food. A mix of vegetables, simmered with dried basil and whole-wheat cheese (or meat) tortellini in a vegetable broth. Finish each bowl off with a grind or two of fresh black pepper and serve with crusty bread. It’s delicious! 

To keep things simple and easy, I use my favorite store-bought cheese tortellini. This dish is endlessly adaptable: Go for ravioli instead of tortellini, use frozen bell pepper and onion instead of fresh, and opt for chicken broth instead of the vegetable. I like to add some hot pepper flakes to enhance the flavor of the dish. However, feel free to increase or scale back the spice level as needed. This vibrant soup is made in one pot, and you can have it on the table in less than half an hour.

To make the Tortellini & Vegetable Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
