Ingredients for Creamy Tortellini Soup Recipe:

• Liquid: I like to see vegetable broth for added flavor
• Vegetables: Grab a bag of frozen peas and carrots
• Pasta: use a bag of frozen cheese tortellini
• Cream: you will need to use heavy cream to make this creamy tortellini soup recipe
• Seasoning: be sure to have kosher salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning

How to make Creamy Tortellini Soup Recipe:

To a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat add in the broth and bring the broth to a boil.

Add in the frozen vegetables, seasonings, and tortellini let simmer for 5-10 minutes stirring occasionally.

Stir in the heavy cream and let simmer for 2 more minutes.

How to store this homemade cheesy tortellini soup:

Fridge: Store any leftovers of the vegetarian tortellini soup in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Freezer: Pour the soup into a freezer-safe ziplock bag using a freezer bag holder once cooled to room temperature, and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. 

Tips and tricks for making this delicious tortellini soup recipe: 

Ways to add protein: 

If you love the idea of this soup but want to add some more protein to the soup recipe, give these a try: 

• Spicy sausage
• Mild Italian sausage (or spicy Italian sausage aka best of both worlds)
• Fresh spinach
• White beans or cannellini beans
• Use chicken broth or chicken stock in place of the vegetable broth

Can this become a slow cooker recipe?

Most definitely! You can turn this into a slow cooker soup by dumping everything but the tortellini and cream into a crockpot and turning it on low for 4-5 or high for 2-3 hours. Then about 30 minutes before you serve, pour the tortellini to let them thaw and cook.

Once the tortellini is cooked, pour in the heavy cream and let it cook for another 5-10 minutes. 

More add-ins: 

You can use this recipe as a soup base and add to it what you like. Here are a few suggestions: 

• Chopped bell pepper
• Minced garlic
• Tomato paste (if you want to turn this into a soup with a creamy tomato base)
• Parmesan cheese (but this would be more of a topping)
• Red pepper flakes
• Fresh basil
