There is no meat this creamy vegetable tortellini soup but you won’t miss it. This is creamy and dreamy pure comfort food!
This soup is full of veggies including carrots, peas, broccoli, onions, and spinach. Then, you add in that cheese filled tortellini. Between the veggies and tortellini, this soup is plenty filling. As a result, you don’t miss that there is no meat in this at all.
Fresh Vs. Frozen Tortelinii
Fresh or frozen tortellini can be used in this recipe. However, you just want to make sure it gets fully cooked before you add in the creamy base. I tend to use frozen tortellini because it is usually less expensive than the fresh.
