This soup is the gift that keeps on giving. Its vegetarian and super satisfying nonetheless. The perfect way to use up your veggies and that frozen tortellini. If you don’t like kale, feel free to sub in baby spinach or roughly chopped Swiss chard in its place. You can use milk in place of the heavy cream or just leave it out and it will still taste great! You can also use gnocchi instead of the tortellini or any medium to small sized pasta.

Hi! I’m planning to make this for meal prep and wondered if the nutritional info provided is for the whole pot or 1/4 recipe (says it serves 4)? Thank you!!
Hi Kristin, the Nutritional info is 1/4 of the recipe. However, I think you can easily get 6 portions out of this recipe. I tend to put out large portions with my family.
Oh wow, I just thought 944 calories seemed like a lot for one serving of a veggie soup! Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!
Just so people know, the instructions don’t include adding the 4 garlic cloves, which in my opinion should be sautéed with the vegetables – so don’t forget this step!
Absolutely delicious and loaded with healthy veggies. I will definitely make this again.
Hi Katrina, Thank you for trying out the soup! Happy its a match for you!
Made this but I changed it to add protein I used mild sausage and chicken broth and it turned out great thank you for the rest of the recipie!
Hi Candace, Glad you enjoyed and thank you for sharing your feedback with us!
Still making this. Instructions don’t tell when to add the garlic. The broth tastes delicious. Can’t wait to finish it.
HI Lois, sorry about that! I just updated it to include it! Thank you for bringing it to my attention!
Made this soup tonight and it was a huge hit!!! Absolutely delicious, no modifications needed which is rare in our household. We usually always have to make changes, but this was perfect as is.
One heads up – the instructions above is missing when to add garlic. We watched your Instagram Reel for clarification (which is how we found you!) but for anyone who finds this elsewhere, we put the garlic in with the mushrooms & celery.
Hi Dani, I will correct that at once! Thanks for the heads up and trying the recipe and the rating!!!
Can you make this ahead of time or will the tortellini or kale get over cooked?
Hi Nicole, I wouldn’t recommend it unless you really under-boil the pasta
As I don’t tolerate creams I will put some Greek yoghurt instead and omit the kale too for either parsley or Fresh Cilantro chopped .. for allergic purposes .. Hope you agree with me
But I loved it truly.. ♥️😋😋
Hi Raghida, Glad you liked the overall recipe and thank you for sharing your feedback for us all!!
What could I sub for the cream?
milk works or just leave it out or coconut cream but i personally dont like the flavor with that option here.
Nice hearty soup. Made it without the cream and still, delicious. Whole family liked it.
How can we make this in an instant pot ?
Fabulous. Easy & delicious, we did not miss having meat.
HI Liz, that’s what I said too did not miss the meat! Thank you for trying it!
If I don’t have tomato paste what can I use ?
Its okay, you can leave it out!
Very easy to make, I didn’t use any wine or kale but came out amazing!🥰
Glad you liked the soup and thanks for leaving the feedback for everhyone!!!
Really good soup. Just added some chicken and peas but everything else the same. Thanks for sharing-will definitely make again due to the taste and ease of it.
Hi Reenie, thanks so much for trying the soup and sharing your feedback with everyone! Cheers!
Would it affect it much if I omitted the wine? If so, what could I use to substitute?
Hi Alexa, you can totally leave out the wine – will still be delicious!
Can you use a bit of cognac instead of wine?
I would not use cognac the flavor might be too strong here…
Fabulous hearty soup that your family will love!!! Just perfect.
Thank you so much for the review!
I always like to make my soups in the crockpot. how can I convert this recipe for that? just throw everything, including the totellini in at one time and let it go all day?
Hi Jean do not add inthe tortellini, it will become mush if left in the heated crockpot
Thank you for sharing the pictures and recipe for this soup! The extra recommendations are very helpful as well. Look forward to making it for a one pot hearty meal!
Hi Kathy, glad you liked the recipe! and let me know what you think after you make it! Cheers!
I was going to make this tonight. I live alone. I was hoping to freeze it in small servings. Will that be okay?
This was so good and easy! Great for a week night meal. Even the teenagers loved it!
Love this!! I made it exactly as the recipe is. I wouldn’t change a thing. Tasted better than something I would have at a restaurant. Definitely making again!! 💕 Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe. 🤩 😋😍
Hi Gina, I’m so glad it was enjoyed – this is one of my favorite soups too!
Delicious!! And so easy! One mistake I made: the recipe calls for 1.5 lbs of cheese tortellini, so I converted that to 24 ounces of cheese tortellini (i bought 2 10-ounce packages from Trader Joe’s) but it was too much! 1 small pack of tortellini is good :). We fished out half the tortellini 🤣. Also, I substituted the paprika and Italian herbs for Trader Joe’s Italian soffritto seasoning — yum!! Added a bit of kick with the chili flakes. I’d never cooked with wine before, so I picked a $3 Pinot Grigio which tastes amazing here!!
Hello Irene, That’s happened to me too.. we just add more broth and make it work. WE LOVE OUR PASTA lol
And yes, you don’t need an expensive wine whatsoever!! Thanks for trying it out and for the kind review!
Made for the first time this evening and was blown away with how packed in flavour it was 😊 we aren’t big mushroom fans so I substituted those for butternut squash and used chicken stock instead of veg but kept everything else the same .Served it with some buttered baguettes 🤤 will definitely be making again in the near future . Thanks for the recipe.
My stepdaughter made this on XMAS and now I am making it for my husband.
it is refreshing yet a warm soothing soup.
944 calories per serving??? Can that be right?
SOOOO YUMMY, not too difficult and super delicious
My family and I LOVE this recipe! I like to use chicken stock instead of veggie but otherwise it’s perfect!! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Renan, glad you all liked it! Thanks for the kind rating!
so excited to try this. can i make and then freeze to eat later? small family of two doesn’t want this to go to waste.
Hi Maison, I would not recommend freezing this soup. The tortellini will become mushy when thawed.
I would recommend making the soup and not adding all the tortellini. Freezing the soup alone and then adding in the uncooked tortellini when reheating it.
Hi! Do you happen to have a sub for the heavy cream that is non-dairy? Would full fat coconut milk work you think?
Hi Jenna, yes! Full fat coconut milk would work!
Absolutely delicious! I did substitute the veggie broth with chicken broth, and Kale with baby spinach. Family loved it!
HI Barbara, So happy you guys enjoyed the soup! Thanks for trying it!
Hi girl, can I do with without wine? Unfortunately I can’t consume it.
Hi Sabrina – absolutely leave it out!
So easy to throw together and was a hit with my teen!
What can I substitute for heavy cream so it’s less cholesterol and less fat and calories?
Hi Liza, i would just leave it out! or you can try milk
Made this for my family last night & it was crazy delicious!!!! Saw the recipe & just had to make it, even though it was a stinking hot day as it’s the middle of summer here in Australia! A fantastic, hearty & veggie loaded family friendly recipe. I swapped out the mushrooms for zucchini as my annoying husband hates mushrooms 🤣
Will be making regularly from now on!
Hi Clare, I love soup in the summer! Its always so cold with the AC! Thanks for sharing the zucchini swap too with us – will try that next time!
Delicious!
I highly recommend!
Thank you Juli!!
Just made this for dinner and it’s absolutely delicious! Definitely going to be a new staple in our household.
Hi Anny! Thanks so much for trying out the soup and for the kind rating!
Great recipe!
HI Kristen, glad you liked the soup!!
It’s very delicious! Although it’s a lot so I put less in the pot. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jennifer, glad you liked it!
Thank you for this! It was amazing! My family enjoyed it so much! So much flavor! And really not a lot of work. Thank you Stella!
Hi Donna, glad you tried it and loved it! Thanks for the kind review!
This soup recipe is wonderful and very tasty.
Hi Charlene, thanks so much for trying it and the kind rating!
I used one bunch of spinach, one bunch mustard greens and one bunch of turnip greens. I also used 2 32oz chicken stock and 1 32oz vegetable stock. I scrambled 2 eggs in a bowl & added the cheese, then drizzled that in at the end. It was very filling & satisfying ❤️
Hi laura, That sounds so fresh and delicious! Thanks for sharing your feedback with us!
Made this the other night for my wife and I. Its was delicious. I added Italian sausage just to have some meat with it. Will definitely make it again.
Hey Solomon, glad you tried the recipe and thank you for sharing your feedback with everyone! Cheers!
I have dried tortellini. Should I cook it first before putting into the soup?
Hi Sherry, will cook in the soup broth.. just cover it if takes too long. You dont’ want the liquids disappearing!
Omg im gonna try this for sure.. what can we substitute wine with? I really want this to taste exactly like your recipe but cant add wine, we have some kids in the house 😊
Dont even worrry about the taste! Leave out the wine and it will still taste amazing!
So delish! Used half sweet Italian sausage tortellini and half cheese tortellini. I felt like the sausage tortellini gave a good pop of flavor… both were great… keep it vegetarian, or go all in with the sausage torts for the meat lovers. This is a new fave go to for sure! Thank you!
The tortellini looks so good, where can I find good quality or what brand?!
Best soup I have EVER made, wow!
Can u substitute coconut cream for heavy cream and fresh spinach instead of kale? My hubby won’t touch kale plus it’s not good if you have thyroid issues.
Hi Stella. Is the calorie count right? 944 calories seems like a lot compared to similar recipes.
Winner in my house! I’ve done this with Italian sausage crumbled in or with pancetta sprinkled on top as well.
Hello
Can you use frozen spinach?
Milk instead of heavy cream?
Thanks!
I loved this soup! It’s so hearty and healthy, but also feels like a complete meal since there is tortellini! I can’t recommend this enough. It’s dynamite! I ended up using a half and half instead of heavy cream to keep it slightly lighter, but go for the cream if it’s your thing!
this has become a staple in our house!
hI Janet! glad you guys love it! Thanks for the kind review
If I don’t want to use the white wine, do I just omit it or substitute it with equal amounts of broth? thank you.
HI Tracy, yes, use more broth as a sub!
I just made this. I didn’t use low sodium chicken broth. I use knorr Roasted chicken base, so I added no extra salt. It came out FANTASTIC. I will DEFINITELY make again and save this recipe!
Hi Brenda, thank you so much for sharing your feedback and I’m glad you tried the soup and liked it! Cheers!
Very delicious soup! My whole family loves it.
