30 Minute Tortellini Soup Recipe
This creamy vegetarian tortellini soup recipe is what I call an Easy Weeknight Meal – which is on your table in about 30 minutes. These quick and simple recipes are perfect for those nights when you want a healthy homecooked meal but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen. I have a whole section of The Herbeevore dedicated to Easy Weeknight Meals, that are great for the whole family. From soups and stews, to pastas and proteins – a healthy meal can be on your table in no time. Even faster than ordering takeout!
What’s In This Vegetarian Tomato Tortellini Soup Recipe?
- Onion, Carrots, Celery, Parsley –I stock up on organic produce with Misfits Market – they have a fantastic selection of in-season fruits & veggies, healthy pantry items, and great food finds for a fraction of grocery store prices! You can get $10 off your first $30 box by clicking here!
- Tortellini: use any kind you like – I like these four cheese and pesto varieties! You can use homemade tortellini (tofu ricotta + parsley filling, yum!) or store bought. Kite Hill makes a vegan tortellini that is made from almonds.
- Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- Garlic: while we like fresh garlic, I’ve been loving this heirloom jarred garlic in recipes lately, 10/10 would recommend as it lasts longer in the fridge than fresh garlic.
- No Salt Vegetable Stock or Bouillon: I love this no salt vegetable base for my recipes because it has a great flavor and is lower in sodium. I only develop my recipes with low sodium ingredients so the ingredients shine.
- Half & Half or Light Cream – I find that using either half & half, or light cream has just enough fat content to make this totally decadent – no need to use heavy cream in this.
How Do I Make Tortellini Soup in the Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker?
- In your Instant Pot, set the setting to Sauté model and add the olive oil. Add the onions and garlic and sauté for 5 or 6 minutes until the veggies begin to soften. Then add the carrots, celery, vegetable stock and tortellini to the pot. Seal the lid, and set to Pressure Cook or Manual Mode for 1 Minute.
- After the minute is up, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release for 10 minutes. Then carefully, manually release the remainder of the steam.
- Remove the lid, and add the half & half and fresh chopped parsley. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If you used a low sodium Vegetable stock then you may need to add salt or pepper.
Instant Pot Soups for the Easy Meal Prep
For all my recipes I use the 8-Quart Instant Pot Ultra, its larger than the standard models (which are only 6 quart) so I have extra room to meal prep and batch cook more meals for the week. The Ultra model also has some great extra settings like cake baking and yogurt making which are really neat. I love that everything can cook in one pot, which makes for way less dishes and hands-off cooking. The Instant Pot is hands-down my favorite kitchen appliance, and actually makes my life so much easier.
