Preparation
Chef’s notes
This vegetarian tortellini soup is healthy, comforting, and easy to make! For a vegan variation, substitute your favorite vegan tortellini. I like the Kite Hill brand.
Serve with fresh basil or parsley and a generous scoop of kale pesto.
Pair it with mixed greens tossed in Italian dressing or lemon vinaigrette, or with one of these salad recipes:
Pear Salad with Balsamic and Walnuts, Italian Chopped Salad, Citrus Salad with Fennel and Avocado, Caesar Salad, Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad, Green Bean Salad, or any of these 19 Best Winter Salad Recipes.
Round out the meal with homemade focaccia or good crusty bread.
