Easy Tortellini Spinach Soup
Is the weather gloomy and grey where you live? There is nothing better on days like this than soup and one of my favorites is an easy tortellini spinach soup.
In about 20 minutes it’s ready to eat.

I make a pretty big batch so I have some for lunch later in the week.
Then freeze it in an airtight container or a freezer bag.
It makes a great nutritious lunch or a quick dinner on a cold night.
Tortellini is one pasta that I’ve not tried to make at home but it’s on my to-do list.
With close proximity to Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods, I’m able to find brands that are good for you.
Even our local grocery store has some good options.
I typically chose cheese tortellini for this recipe for a vegetarian tortellini soup so it’s a meatless meal but sometime I will get chicken or sausage-filled tortellini for a change of pace.
I always choose fresh tortellini options.
I use chicken broth or vegetable broth along with diced tomatoes and tomato paste for a rich tomato flavor.
If you want a more creamy version, you can add a cup of heavy cream to the recipe for creamy spinach tortellini soup.
There are also other things you can add to the soup based on your personal preferences.
- Sliced, Cooked Mild Italian Sausage or Spicy Italian Sausage (both personal preference)
- Cooked Chicken Breast Diced or Rotisserie Chicken
- Extra Veggies: Carrots, Celery, Peas
- Potatoes
- White Beans (or any beans you prefer)
- red pepper flakes – for some heat
The first time I made this soup, it was on a busy night
I had nothing planned and I just used what I had in the refrigerator and pantry.
I was surprised at how quickly it came together and how good it was.
A hearty soup is such a wonderful comfort food in the cold winter months
What’s In My Kitchen
For this soup, the best way to serve it is topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and slivered basil for a cheesy tortellini soup.
A side salad and some crusty bread will round out this meal.
If you’re looking for other homemade soup options with simple ingredients, try my classic chicken noodle soup. I also have a great recipe for chili HERE
