Ingredients

• Aromatics: onion, carrots, celery, garlic, Italian herbs (you can also use Herbes de Provence or a mix of dried basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary).
• Vegetables: you can use any vegetables you have on hand, I like it most with zucchini and green beans. Other vegetables you could add are: broccoli, spinach, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, asparagus, potatoes, fennel, cauliflower. Make sure to adjust the cooking time for each vegetable, some may need longer and some shorter.
• Broth: you can use vegetable or chicken broth.
• Crushed tomatoes – you can use fresh, chopped tomatoes in summer when they are in season. If using canned tomatoes make sure they are of good quality, meaning: just taste good and sweet on their own (I like the Mutti brand).
• Tortellini – I used cheese tortellini but every other kind like spinach ricotta or prosciutto would also work.

How to make vegetable tortellini soup step by step

STEP 1: Prepare all the vegetables: dice the onion, finely chop garlic, cut the carrots, celery, and zucchini into 1/2-inch (1 cm) cubes, trim the ends of the green beans then into 2-3 parts.

STEP 2: Sautee the aromatics: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for a couple of minutes until slightly soft. Add the garlic and herbs, cook for 1 minute, stirring.

STEP 3: Add crushed tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.

STEP 4: Add the zucchini and green beans, bring to a boil, simmer for 8 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.

STEP 4: Cook the tortellini according to the manufacturer’s instructions. I used fresh tortellini and needed to simmer them only for 2 minutes. If your tortellini need more cooking time, add them earlier.

Season the soup with salt and pepper. Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan.

Enjoy!

Storage

This soup reheats very well, but the tortellini left in the soup will become very soft and not al dente like freshly cooked.

You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Don’t freeze it if you’ve used frozen tortellini.
