If you're looking for an easy yet truly delicious and satisfying soup recipe, then this is the recipe for you.
We're not usually ones for bragging. However, this soup deserved to be bragged about 😉
Every mouthful is an absolute joy, and packed full of luxurious flavours.
This Tortellini soup recipe is creamy, yet light and the Tortellini adds a nice surprise of texture and flavour.
This Tortellini soup recipe is vegetarian. However, you could add meat filled Tortellinis if you'd prefer. In this recipe we use just one 250g pack of store bought Tortellini. However, if you wanted to bulk the soup out to feed more mouths then we recommend adding in two packs.
To this creamy and tomatoe based soup we've also added in some veggies;
Carrot
Courgette
Red Bell Pepper
Onion
Garlic
We also use a simple blend of dried herbs;
Garlic Powder
Dried Oregano
Sweet Paprika
And alongside the dried herbs we also add in fresh herbs. These fresh herbs could be substituted with dried. However, for maximum flavour like ours, we highly recommend and encourage you to use fresh herbs if possible.
Fresh Bay Leaves
Fresh Thyme Leaves
This creamy Tortellini soup feels like a real treat, and we would happily serve this to guests at a dinner party or special occasion.
Soups also make fantastic meal-prep recipes. Just store in an airtight glass container in the fridge.
If you haven't guessed already, we absolutely LOVE this Tortellini soup recipe, and can't recommend it enough. If you try this recipe we hope you enjoy itvas much as we do.
Now on with this delicious recipe.
Happy Cooking!

METHOD
In a large saucepan add the oil and butter and heat on a high heat.
Once heated add in the diced onion, carrot and garlic. Sauté for a few minutes until the onions have softened and then add in your dried herbs and seasonings. Combine together well.
Reduce to a medium-low heat and add in the courgette and red bell pepper. Mix together and cook for a couple of minutes before adding in your canned chopped tomatoes, and water. Stir.
Add your fresh Bay Leaves and fresh Thyme Leaves, stir and turn up the heat to bring to a boil.
Stir occasionally and once it's come to a boil carefully add in your Tortellini and cook as instructed on the packing - usually 3-5 minutes.
Once the Tortellini is cooked, turn to a very low heat and add in the cream and parmesan. Stir and remove from the heat once the cream and cheese is fully combined.
Serve, top with a few twists of Cracked Black Pepper, and enjoy.
