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!
Can you clarify – it is 944 calories for one serving? That doesn’t make sense?
She said the ENTIRE soup recipe…then divide accordingly
Stella writes that there are 944 calories per quarter (or 1/4) batch of soup. This soup is high in calories because it includes heavy cream, cheese tortellini, extra virgin olive oil, white wine, and cheese.
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.
I blend 1/2 cup raw cashews with 1-2 cups of the broth (or water). It’s delicious.
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.
I found recipe and your shop. what is name of that soup pan? Thanks.
Tess
Hi Teresa, the pot is a Caraway. I will link it below:

A brilliant way to eat Tortellini, I added some pesto and crème fresh and added my own twist to it. Thanks so much for the inspiration xx
Great recipe just as is – thanks for sharing! This is also a very versatile dish. I added some cannolini beans, which is hearty vegetarian protein source. Also topped it with a little scoop of pesto, along with the parm and olive oil. Wow – flavor bomb!
This sounds awesome! It is possible to skip or replace the cream for nondairy folks?
So delicious and easy to make. I love a dish with simple ingredients that you already have in your refrigerator.
Delicious! I made this tonight and couldn’t wait to dig in. I used a bag of frozen mushrooms, peppers, and onions, and added in a little bit more frozen onion (Just because I didn’t feel like chopping a fresh onion). I didn’t have wine so i did all chicken broth, left out the celery, and used frozen tortellini. I’ll keep this recipe and make it again for sure!
HI Tiffany, so glad you tried it and liked it! And thank you for sharing your feedback with us!
Loved it! Instead of can tomatoes and tomato paste i used tomato sauce (the one in the jar). Loved it!!!!
One question:) can you store in the fridge for 1 day?
Hi Diana, glad you tried it and liked it! Yes, you can store in the fridge but I would advise slightly undercooking the pasta so that when you reheat it it doesnt overcook the pasta.
This was delicious. The perfect soup for a cold, rainy Alaskan evening.
Followed exactly and it was superb! Absolutely delicious and will make again!
I just made this! No meat but so hearty, perfect for a rainy day! I used spinach in place of kale 😊
Hi Megan, I agree, you don’t miss the meat here. Glad you enjoyed it!
Simply delicious!!
I made this. Lots of veggies but it was quite bland. The tortellini lost it’s shape and any texture the longer it was in the soup.
Made this twice now and it’s delicious. I use 10 cups of broth in addition to the wine for a more soupy texture. I also add a teaspoon of salt and pepper . It’s delicious!!!!!
Hi Tia, Sounds delicious! Thanks for trying it out and I’m glad you liked it!
Hi Stella!
I’ve made this twice now and I just had some for breakfast!
After allowing the flavors to mingle for a couple of days it’s even BETTER!
This is definitely one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE SOUPS.
Thanks for your great explorations!
Hi Jenny, so glad the soup recipe is a winner for you! Thanks for the kind feedback!
So simple and satisfying. I added a little squash as I had it in my refrigerator.
This came out so good!!!! I used coconut milk instead of heavy cream and it was still delicious. First home cooked meal of 2024–off to a great start!!!
How can I reduce the calories below 944 per serving?
Is there a substitute for the mushrooms or could I just leave them out? My kid will eat kale but not mushrooms!
Hi Sara, just leave them out!
Another fantastic recipe, will become a cold weather soup staple! Absolutely scrumptious!
Hi Valerie, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the 5 star rating! Cheers!
I would omit the cream altogether. No need for it and the extra calories. And save the parmesan cheese for the topping.
HI Phil, thanks for your feedback and I’m so glad you liked the soup! Cheers!
So good. Added some cooked meatballs. Apple cider instead of wine and less broth because wanting more of a Stew. Used spinach. you should make this very comforting dish.
Hi Cindy, thank you so much for the kind review and feedback! Glad you liked the soup recipe!
Delicious. I cooked through step 2 and then divided it in half. Completed the recipe with half veggies/broth and half of the other ingredients. Saved the other half of the veggies for another time. Definitely feeds more than four. Both my husband and I thought this recipe was a keeper. Thank you
Hi Wendy, Glad you both enjoyed the recipe and thanks so much for sharing your experience with the dish! Cheers!
This is sooo gooood!!!!!!!! A new family favorite!!!
HI STacy, glad you and family liked the soup and thanks for the kind rating!
Love this! Your recipes are always so very good! Thanks for some “Good Eating”! ~Connie
Hi Connie, thanks for trying my recipes!! And coming back to rate the soup too! Cheers!
I loved this recipe ! I omitted the cream not sure how much that changes the taste? I added a parmesan cheese rind to the pot when it was simmering. I subbed baby spinach instead of kale. I would make this again most definitely !
Hi Crystal, sounds delicious the way you prepared the soup! Thanks for sharing your feedback and the kind rating!
This was amazing! I unfortunately couldn’t get tortellini so I substituted and used cheese and spinach ravioli and seriously the taste is amazing. Thank you so much!!
Hi Kat, That’s awesome – thanks for sharing you feedback with the ravioli – I’m sure it will help others too! Cheers!
It’s really and it is delicious! The flavors go well together!! I added a little more chicken broth at the end because of the constant high heat and boiling, I wanted a little more broth in it. I will definitely be making it again!
Hi Karen! Thanks for trying the soup recipe out and I’m glad it worked out for you! Cheers!
I really enjoy this soup. I used spinach tortellini instead of cheese and almond milk for the heavy cream. It a quick recipe to make and hits the spot on a rainy day.
Hi Rosa, that’s awesome so glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for sharing your version!
Husband love this for dinner! I added Italian Sausage for some protein. Turned out absolutely delicious. Hearty meal for these cold, winter nights. I didn’t have mushrooms so added cauliflower. My veggies were the perfect consistency. Not mushy, but not super crunchy. Al dente if you will, haha. Thank you for sharing!!
Hi Linda, sounds awesome with the sausage!
This soup is the best!! Very easy to make and extremely hardy. Perfect for rainy nights. Will be making this again~ Thanks!!
Hi Kristin, I love this on cozy rainy nights! Thanks for the kind rating!

5stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
please try out this recipe you will make i believe this a fam fav.!
Hi Julie, It truly is soup for the soul! Glad you love it and thanks for coming back to share your feedback with us! Cheers!
Can you make this in a crockpot? If so how long / what setting and would you just add tortellini 10-20min prior to serving?
I made this soup last night. So easy, and SO delicious! Definitely very filling and comforting soup for fall/winter. I will definitely be putting this in rotation.
HI Wendy, so glad the soup was a winner for you! thanks for the kind review!
What dry white wine did you use?
Hi Nathalie, just a dry white wine from Whole Foods.. nothing fancy. You can use Pinot Grigio
Great flavor! Super simple to put together and have made it a few times now 🙂
Hi Melissa, glad the recipe resonated with you! Thanks for the kind rating!
Sooo I just made this for breakfast lol yes breakfast I’m pregnant lol and it was amazing…I added a couple things I wanted it to have an Asian flair so I added rice noodles, ginger, and hot pepper flakes to my bowl before pouring the soup over it!! amazing! and I added shedded chicken, perfect amount of protein! thank you for the recipe ❤️
HI Smith, that sounds awesome! Congrats on the pregnancy and enjoy your cooking for you and baby <3 Lots of love!
This is a smash. Super, super yummy and it doesn’t get much more straightforward to make.
Hi Ty, glad you liked the recipe! And thank you for the kind feedback!
Made this for dinner the other day – really good. Only did 1/4 cup of cream and was still amazing.
Made a huge batch! Froze the leftovers.
Thanks for the recipe xo
HI Lindsay, Perfect! Glad the soup was enjoyed!
Hi, Is there an alternative to use instead of 1/2 cup dry white wine?
Many thanks
Sarah
Hi Sarah, just use more broth <3 Enjoy!
This recipe is delicious. I recommend using 16oz of mushrooms rather than the 12oz called for. Also, it’s best to cook the tortellini by itself, put some at the bottom of each serving bowl, and pour soup over it. It will prevent the tortellini from overcooking and falling apart. Top each bowl with a little shaved Parmesan and it’ll be pretty enough for a magazine. Use the wine! It makes a difference.
So delicious and easy to make. The only change I made was switching the cheese tortellini for a meat filled tortellini and I used 1/2 vegetable and 1/2 chicken stock, only because I had both in my house. Many compliments from my “not-veggie-loving” husband.
Delicious! Followed exactly but made the mistake of too much tortellini which sucked up all the yummy broth. Still made a delicious pasta.
This recipe has quickly become a family fav, Sooo good🙌🏾! I have been making this without the mushrooms and fresh carrots using a small portion of frozen mixed veggies that has carrots included and sub the fresh celery for dried celery flakes. I’ve also successfully used pink Moscato for the white wine, evaporated milk or coconut milk in place of the heavy cream (because it’s what I had on hand), and whatever pasta is in my pantry at the time and every time this soup is doggone delicious! Thank you so much Hungry Happens for such a wonderful recipe that is absolutely a keeper for me!
Hi Jazz, Glad the soup was enjoyed and I thank you for taking the time to come back and leave your feedback. Super helpful for eveyrone!
