Although spring has officially sprung, it definitely still feels like winter across most of the country. For most of us, we had a taste of spring much earlier than usual, but then old man winter had to come back and remind us that he wasn’t gone quite yet! So while it’s still cold outside, I’m enjoying my favorite soups for as long as I can.
There is something so comforting about this Hearty Vegetable Tortellini Soup. Cheesy pasta, vegetables, and a flavorful tomato broth… yes make room for seconds! My entire family enjoyed this easy soup recipe. Great as a lunch to take to work for the week or as a main course.
Key Ingredients for these Hearty Vegetable Tortellini Soup
- Green Beans– we love green beans in our house! They are a low calorie food that is loaded with nutrients that can help fight off diseases, are high in fiber, and folate.
- Spinach– known as a huge power food, spinach is great to toss into soups because it cooks down easily. A great way to add nutrition without being too over powering.
- Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes– canned tomatoes make this soup simple to prepare. We used fire roasted flavor, but chili ready or even Italian seasoning would taste great, too!
- Cheese Tortellini– I used cheese tortellini in this recipe but if you wanted to use a different flavor or one filled with vegetables, go for it!
- Vegetable Broth– for the base we used a low-sodium vegetable broth. Want to learn how to make your own? Check out how to here! Chicken broth could also work.
- Chickpeas– I love adding chickpeas into recipes. They are mild in flavor, add texture, and have wonderful benefits. They are a great plant based protein, are loaded in fiber, and Iron.
