If you want a hot appetizer for the party or need a comforting meal for busy weeknights. This soup is perfect for you. A wholesome meal made ready in less than 30 minutes.

This month I’m heavily focusing on bringing down my weight and started concentrating more on healthy food. This is an easy attempt to make satisfy both my craving sense and healthy sense.

This is the instant pot version of making spicy tortellini soup. But you can use the pressure cooker or stovetop method.

What is tortellini?

This is a classic Italian ingredient made with the cheese filling.  This is a unique variety of pasta where cheese is wrapped beautifully in the pasta sheet. Available as frozen or refrigerated or as dried.

They're bite-sized about 2 inches long. This is great for making exotic dishes for parties or even good for making hearty food for the busy weeknight dinners like this spicy tortellini soup.

The types of tortellini:

There are varieties of tortellini available in the market with different flavors. Though all of them will be good to make this soup, I would prefer to go over the cheese tortellini.

This spicy tortellini soup is loaded with flavors, so just the plain cheese tortellini would be a perfect addition. This complements well with all the beautiful flavors of the vegetables. Three cheese tortellini or cheese tortellini would be perfect for making this spicy soup.

Can you refrigerate tortellini soup?

Yes, you may store the leftover tortellini soup in the refrigerator in an airtight container. I would not advise storing in the refrigerator for more than a day. Since we have added all the fresh vegetables in here. As a result, it is better to consume the soup within a day after refrigeration.

It stays good for a day when it is refrigerated and stays good for about 2 months when it is frozen.

Is it possible to make vegan tortellini soup?

Are you looking out to make this recipe in a vegan way? Then substitute tortellini with vegan tortellini. Stores do carry vegan tortellini, where is pasta is filled with vegan cheese.

Key ingredients for spicy tortellini soup:

Tortellini. There are many varieties of tortellini available in the market, like chicken tortellini, beef tortellini, or cheese tortellini. You may use any of its kind. Today I made this recipe with three-cheese tortellini.

I find cheese tortellini is great for making this vegetable soup. So, it is up to you to decide on the variety depending on your requisition.

The stores do carry fresh, refrigerated, frozen, or dried forms. Using fresh tortellini is always welcome. But getting them is really hard.

Frozen or refrigerated are equally good. Not only for this recipe but for any other recipes as well.  I used to get the Frozen tortellini from Walmart it cost about $3.

Where I can make two batches of soup for my entire family dinner. This great for the price and good for the comforting Vegetable Tortellini soup.

Red and green peppers. Adding red pepper gives a full flavor and the color to the soap. I have added green peppers as I had it from my garden. Using both the peppers or any one of them will do its job.

Vegetables. You may add any vegetables to the soup according to its seasonal availability. Since this is the harvesting season, we get a good quality of vegetables from the nearby farmers market in abundance. This made me threw all the vegetables to make the soup healthy.

Using fresh vegetables is always good, but in its absence, you may use frozen vegetables as well for making this spicy tortellini soup.

Seasonings. I have added time dried thyme, oregano, and basil. I find this combo gives me a great wholesome flavor. But I'm instead of adding these three ingredients separately, you may just add Italian seasoning.

The vegetable broth. If you are looking to make your own, look into the Homemade vegetable broth. The store-bought vegetable broth is also good for making this tortellini vegetable soup.

Variations for tortellini vegetable soup Add chicken sausages or turkey sausage or meatballs to give her all new dimension to the soup.
