Ingredients needed to make tortellini vegetable soup
There are so many ways to customize this dish—add some frozen peas or corn for a little extra veggie boost, use whatever pasta shape you have on hand (even macaroni!) instead of tortellini, play around with the veggies based on what you can find at your local market. You’ll love how easy it is to whip up!
To make it, you’ll need:
- Low-sodium chicken broth
- Fire-roasted diced tomatoes (you can substitute regular)
- Escarole (you can substitue another leavy green vegetable like spinach or kale)
- Tortellini
- Green beans
- Corn
- Carrots
- Celery
- Vidalia (sweet) onion
- Garlic
- Dry oregano and basil
- Parmesan cheese
How to make quick and easy tortellini soup
To make the soup, start by sautéing garlic, onions, celery, and carrot in a little bit of olive oil.
Once they’re nice and soft, add the tomatoes, broth, escarole, corn, beans, and spices. Bring everything to a boil, then simmer it for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld and the green beans cook.
Once the beans are soft, add the tortellini and cook a few minutes longer to warm it through.
Serve the soup topped with cheese and season to taste with salt and pepper. Yum!
