One Pot Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup
One Pot Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup! This healthy, vegetarian or vegan one pot soup is super delicious and kid friendly. Simple tomato soup with cheesy tortellini and fresh basil.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 large onion, diced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 28 ounce can whole or crushed tomatoes
- 1 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1/2-1 teaspoon salt, depending on the saltiness of your broth
- 1 package cheese tortellini of choice
- 1/3 cup cream*
- 1/2 cup torn basil leaves
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until slightly softened, taking care not to burn. Add in the red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning and cook for another minute until just fragrant.
- Add in the tomatoes, vegetable broth and salt, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Taste, adding more salt as desired.
- Blend the soup using an immersion blender or regular blender; you may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your blender. Return the soup to the pot, then add in the cream, tortellini and basil and cook until tortellini are just tender, about 5-6 minutes.
- Divide into soup bowls and serve! We love this with extra torn basil leaves, red pepper flakes and a sprinkle of regular or dairy-free parm cheese.
Notes
My favorite dairy-free tortellini are from Kite Hill, which is what I used to test and photograph this recipe. Not sponsored, that's just the brand that we buy often-- especially when they are on sale! However, any tortellini will work here.
Any kind of cream works-- cashew cream, non-dairy cream or heavy cream all work in this recipe! Also totally fine to leave it out; just won't be as creamy.
