Tomato Tortellini Soup

This tomato-tortellini soup is the perfect bowl of comfort. The creamy tomato broth is delicious, but the vegan tortellini are the real stars!

I love pureed vegetable soups such as butternut squash soup with apple, creamy tomato soup and roasted carrot and ginger soup. Sometimes you need a soup that is a bit more substantial. This tomato tortellini is a complete meal.

This soup is not one that will leave your stomach wanting more. The creamy broth, the spinach and the irresistible Tortellini are all part of this delicious soup. This soup is hearty, satisfying and full of all the big Italian flavors you love from your favorite vegan pasta recipe. Jamaica doesn't get much snow (not to rub that in your face!). If there were an official soup for snowy days it would be tomato tortellini.

Notes on Ingredients

Scroll down the recipe card for the ingredients quantities and the recipe instructions.

• Olive Oil
• Yellow Onion- White onions will also work but yellow onions are milder.
• salt
• Crushed tomato -- Crushed tomatoes have a bit more texture than pureed tomatoes, so they are a great option for soups.
• Fire roasted diced tomato- You can use diced regular tomatoes but fire roasted tomatoes will add an extra layer of flavor to your tomato tortellini.
• Tomato sauce
• Vegetable Stock Use vegetable broth from the store or make it yourself.
• Italian seasoning- A great way to add flavour to your food without having to dig through the pantry for a few jars!
• Garlic Powder
• Vegan tortellini
• Vegan Cream Cheese You can either use the homemade version or one from a shop.
• Spinach Leaves -- These will wilt in the soup and add some extra nutrition.
• Salt and Pepper

What kind of Tortellini should I use for this recipe?

You can choose any kind! You can now find vegan tortellini that are made from plant-based cheeses, sausages, and vegetables such as spinach and mushrooms. These flavours would all work well with this tomato tortellini recipe.

How to make tomato Tortellini soup

• Cooking the onion Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed, large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion and salt together until they are translucent.
• Prepare the soup. Add the tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, diced, tomatoes, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Bring the soup up to a rolling boil, then turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for 10 min.
• Cook tortellini. Put the tortellini in the pot. If you are using frozen tortellini, cook for 10 minutes. For fresh tortellini, cook for 5 minutes.

• Blend 1 1/2 cups tomato broth while the tortellini is cooking. Blend the vegan cream-cheese until smooth. Blend the contents back into the soup.
• Serve it up. Stir in the spinach leaves until they are wilted, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.

Tips for Success

• Cut onion into uniform pieces. It will soften all at once. Nobody likes crispy pieces of onion in their soup.
• Thin as desired. You can add up to 1 cup more vegetable stock for a thicker soup.
• Make your own Italian seasoning . If you do not have Italian seasoning on hand, you can substitute dried basil, oregano thyme and rosemary for an equal amount.
• Do not overcook tortellini. Watch the tortellini closely while they are cooking. They can become mushy when overcooked.

Variations

• For a more filling meal, add some extra protein such as chickpeas or white beans.
• Add red chili flakes to the onions for a spicy dish.
• You can also use your favorite pasta shape or vegan cauliflower gnocchi instead of tortellini.
• Garnish the dish with fresh herbs such as basil or parsley, and vegan Parmesan.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with some toasted garlic bread or crusty bread to dip into the broth and soak up all of its delicious flavors.
• Combine with a simple side salad dressed in balsamic vinegar for a complete meal. The chickpea salad panzanella would also be delicious!
• Enjoy your vegan grilled-cheese sandwich with tomato tortellini.

How to store leftovers

Store leftover tomato tortellini in the fridge for up to three days. Heat on the stovetop, or in the micro-wave until warm before serving.

Can I freeze this recipe?

This tomato tortellini can be frozen in a bag or container that is freezer-safe for up to three months. The soup should be thawed in the fridge overnight before being reheated as per the instructions above.

Is it necessary to take supplements on a plant-based diet?

While a well-balanced plant-based diet can provide all the essential nutrients for maintaining good health, certain micronutrients are best supplemented to cover possible deficiencies. Vitamin B12 is crucial for cognitive and nervous health. This vitamin is not available in animal sources. However, vegetarians and vegans might benefit from supplementation. Insufficient iron and zinc can be found in many plant-based foods, which are crucial for healthy metabolism, red cells production, tissue repair, and tissue growth. In normal body processes such as inflammation control and brain function, omega 3 fatty oils play an essential part. Due to their biochemical characteristics, most plant-based foods do not contain omega-3s. Supplementation can help maintain a delicate balance of this essential nutrient. Finally, calcium is important for strong bones. But it can also be found in small quantities through plants such as broccoli or kale. Consider taking separate supplements if you find it difficult to reach your daily calcium goal from food. It is best to consult your doctor before you introduce any new supplements.
