Tortellini & Vegetable Soup

January 15, 2019

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This is another new soup recipe that I  experimented with over Christmas. The flavour is delicious and the tortellini add a lovely bite to the soup and makes a change from a simple vegetable soup. I really enjoyed it and will make it again.

I used onions, celery, carrots and tinned tomatoes as my base. I chose spinach and cheese tortellini but you can use any variety that you wish. You could also add courgette, tinned beans, peas or spinach if you like.

I normally make enough soup for my husband and me for 3 days. To make sure the tortellini tasted their best I only added enough for that first day when making the soup. I then added more on the day I was reheating the soup. They only take 4 minutes to cook so this was ideal. I think if you cook them all at once and let them sit in the soup in the fridge the tortellini may go soft and will most likely absorb too much liquid.
