Tips and tricks for making this delicious tortellini soup recipe: 

Ways to add protein: 

If you love the idea of this soup but want to add some more protein to the soup recipe, give these a try: 

  • Spicy sausage
  • Mild Italian sausage (or spicy Italian sausage aka best of both worlds)
  • Fresh spinach
  • White beans or cannellini beans
  • Use chicken broth or chicken stock in place of the vegetable broth

Can this become a slow cooker recipe?

Most definitely! You can turn this into a slow cooker soup by dumping everything but the tortellini and cream into a crockpot and turning it on low for 4-5 or high for 2-3 hours. Then about 30 minutes before you serve, pour the tortellini to let them thaw and cook.

Once the tortellini is cooked, pour in the heavy cream and let it cook for another 5-10 minutes. 

More add-ins: 

You can use this recipe as a soup base and add to it what you like. Here are a few suggestions: 

  • Chopped bell pepper
  • Minced garlic
  • Tomato paste (if you want to turn this into a soup with a creamy tomato base)
  • Parmesan cheese (but this would be more of a topping)
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Fresh basil

    I made this soup last week and it turned out delicious. I used half and half because I did not have heavy cream, and I used a package of Frozen Soup Vegetables from the supermarket. Turned out great, thank you for the recipe.
