Creamy Tortellini Soup

This Creamy Tortellini Soup consists of layers upon layers of cozy flavor! It’s an easy vegetarian soup recipe loaded with cheese tortellini and tender veggies cooked in a flavorful, creamy broth.

This Creamy Tortellini Soup is so simple yet so delicious. It combines cheesy tortellini and fresh spinach in a creamy broth, made with just the right amount of roux and a splash of milk. It’s easy to make in just 30 minutes using only one pot, and it results in a perfect, comforting meal.

Why We Love This Tortellini Soup

  • Quick and Easy: Ready in 30 minutes, it’s your go-to for a speedy, hearty meal.
  • Creamy Comfort: Cheesy tortellini and creamy, velvety broth offer a soul-soothing experience.
  • Vegetarian: Packed with veggies and protein, it’s a vegetarian dish that delights and nourishes.
  • Versatile: Easily adaptable, make it your own with personalized tweaks to ingredients or seasonings.

Ingredients You’ll Need

You might already be aware, but I’m a vegetable lover in a house full of pasta fiends. This creamy veggie soup filled with tortellini is our meeting ground!

  • Butter: For sauteing your veggies. Use salted or unsalted butter, just remember to adjust the amount of salt.
  • Vegetables: You’ll need a yellow onion, fresh garlic, carrots, and baby spinach.
  • Seasonings: I seasoned the soup with Italian seasoning, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
  • Flour: All-purpose flour forms the base for a quick and easy roux to thicken the soup.
  • Vegetable Broth: Use low-sodium vegetable broth if you’re making vegetarian soup. Otherwise, chicken broth will also work.
  • Tortellini: Get one package of frozen tortellini. I make this recipe with cheese tortellini, but you can use your favorite variety.
  • Cream: You can use full cream, milk (I use 2%), or half-and-half, depending on what you prefer.
The ingredients for creamy tortellini soup.

How to Make Creamy Tortellini Soup

Get out a big pot – just one, because I’m all about that one-pot dinner life – and let’s make this quick soup!

  1. Sauté: First, sauté onion, garlic, and carrots with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Once the veggies are fragrant and tender, whisk in the flour to make the roux.
  2. Make the Broth: Gradually pour in the broth, whisking until smooth. The base for your soup should be clump-free so that the end result is oh-so-creamy! Once combined, bring the pot to a boil.
  3. Add Tortellini and Spinach: While the soup boils, stir in the frozen tortellini and fresh spinach leaves. Simmer for a few minutes more to get the tortellini heated through.
  4. Add Cream: Pour in your choice of cream, then stir continuously as the soup returns to a boil. Let the cream cook and thicken for a few minutes, then take the pot off the heat. Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper, then serve!

Recipe Tips And Variations

  • Lower the heat before adding the cream, and stir continuously as you pour it in. This technique helps prevent the soup from curdling.
  • For dairy free version, use olive oil or coconut oil in place of butter. Swap out the milk or cream with your choice of dairy-free alternative, like oat, coconut, or rice milk.
  • To lower the carbs, omit the carrots and use this low carb pasta.
  • Add cooked, shredded chicken to make creamy chicken tortellini soup, or check out my Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Tortellini Soup. You can also stir in cooked Italian sausage for a heartier soup.
  • Swap spinach for kale and add mushrooms, too.

What To Serve With Soup

Whoever coined the term “soup for the soul,” I’m pretty sure they were talking about creamy tortellini soup. I serve up bowls of this soup with a thick slice of my Garlic and Cheddar Drop Biscuits. Also, before slurping up the soup, I almost always serve a big chef salad, then top the soup with add-ons like crumbled bacon, freshly grated parmesan cheese, croutons, or shredded cheddar. If all that doesn’t work, serve it bistro-style with a side of Lemon Kale Caesar Salad and paired with Pinwheel Sandwiches.

How to Store and Reheat Leftover Soup

  • Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
  • Reheat portions in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stove until the soup and tortellini are warmed through again.
  • To freeze: While it’s technically safe to freeze this soup, I usually don’t recommend it. Cream soups are tricky to freeze, as the texture and flavor tend to change for the worse once the soup is thawed.

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter in a Dutch oven or soup pot set over medium heat.
  • Add onions, garlic, carrots, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and cook over medium-low heat for 6 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Whisk in the flour; whisk until crumbly.
  • Slowly add the broth and continue to vigorously whisk until everything is well combined and there are no clumps.
  • Bring the soup to a boil and add in the frozen tortellini. Continue to cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 6 minutes or until tortellini is tender and heated through.
  • Whisk in the cream or milk and add in the spinach; bring back to a steady boil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until smooth and thickened.
  • Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Taste for salt and pepper, and adjust accordingly.
  • Serve.

Notes

  • Cream: I like to use heavy cream for a creamier, silkier texture, but this soup also works with milk or half & half. Also, stir continuously when adding the cream so it doesn’t curdle. 
  • Dairy-Free: To make this soup dairy-free, use coconut oil instead of butter, and you can also use nut milk to replace the cream.
  • Frozen Cheese Tortellini is my favorite frozen pasta for this particular soup, hence the name “tortellini soup”,  but you can use whatever pasta you have on hand.
  • Spinach: Baby spinach is my go-to leafy green for soups, but you can also use kale, watercress, collard greens, etc.
  • Add Protein: Stir in some cooked, shredded chicken or cooked Italian pork sausage.

    Made this for a big family dinner over thanksgiving weekend and everyone loved it! They raved over it every time they took a bite lol! I did add shredded rotisserie chicken to it for some extra protein. Delicious! Definitely making this again.

  2. This is a hit with everyone! I started out making as a meat-free soup during Lent … and changed it up a little during the fall/winter by adding sausage to make it heartier.
    I always add a Parmesan rind toward the end — it makes all the difference! Another depth of flavor, another bit of saltiness & cheesiness. So delicious!

  3. Hello! I plan to make this for dinner and was wondering if the tortellini have to be frozen or can they be refrigerated?

    1. Hi!
      Yes, refrigerated are fine. Cook them in the liquid for as long as the instructions state on the packaging, just so you don’t end up with mushy, overcooked pasta.

  4. Made it today and it was delicious. I love that it wasn’t a real thick heavy cream soup. Definitely will make it again.

    It’s now my youngest daughter and my favorite soup.i put 16 oz.of Italian sausage and I triple the rest.

  6. Are the servings listed at the bottom referring to a 1.5 cup serving? I think it’ll be helpful if you specified serving sizes in the nutritional value 🙂

  7. Did I miss this info somewhere?? What are the nutrition values, ESP SODIUM, SAT FAT CALORIES AND CHOLESTEROL??? <

  8. Excited to try this recipe tonight. I made some lower fat substitutions and added leftover rotisserie chicken. I’ll add the frozen tortellini closer to serving time. I see this recipe serves 6. Can you tell me about how many cups per serving?

  9. SO DELICIOUS!!! Prepared the soup exactly as the recipe called for and it was perfect – it looked and tasted like it belonged on the menu of an upscale Italian restaurant!! I’ll definitely be placing this recipe in my personal cookbook – thank you!

  10. Yum! Added a little grated parmigiana reggiano to the top before serving. We loved it! Will definitely be checking out your other recipes.

    1. Hi!
      Yes, you can freeze it, but keep in mind that creamy soups have higher chances of flavor and texture changes when defrosted. Also, cream or milk based soups are more likely to split once defrosted. I suggest to defrost and then reheat over low heat while frequently stirring.

  11. Made this tonight because it was really cold and this looked so delicious! And it was!! This soup will be in my recipe box for future dinners.

  12. My husband new favorite soup. He’s not a soup person but he loves this one bc it’s creamy. I added Italian sausage to the soup to give him some protein. Will have to add this to the fall/winter rotation.

    Making this again Tonight for Dinner. Love this recipe super Good,easy. Thank U for sharing

  14. Loved this recipe! I ended up not using the 1/4 cup flour because I didn’t have enough chicken stock but it still came out delicious. It was so easy too which I liked!

  15. This is a great soup had it good it with 5 cheese two different one and with Italian sausage tortellini was all great. Tryed with the chicken tortellini was ok and tryed it with Italian ravioli was good. Overall a great soup.

  16. My family loves soup and I knew they would love this recipe! So easy to make and very delicious. The only thing I added was Parmesan Cheese because my kids are “cheese addicts”. and as recommended by another commenter. So very, very good. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

    Your daughter is beautiful. Such an exciting time in her life.

      Hi!
      As a starter, soup’s serving size is about one cup, but if you’re going to serve it as a main, then you can have around 1.5 cups to 2 cups per serving.

  19. This was amazing!! The soup came out creamy and full of flavor and it is so comforting! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

  20. This soup is AMAZING! I didn’t have Italian Seasoning, so I just did half of my recipe. Also, I had refrigerated tortellini and fresh spinach, so did the milk step first, then just heated the tortellini and spinach at the very end for 2 minutes. So delicious and easy — I’ll definitely be making it again soon!

        What are your thoughts on adding rotisserie chicken to this recipe? Would it mesh with the flavor profile? Looking for a way to add protein.

  21. Wonderful tortellini soup, but I substituted escarole for the spinach, and skipped the dairy altogether. Used rich homemade chicken stock and fresh tortellini. Followed your directions on the roux and it came out thick and creamy. I lost power while making this (thank goodness for a gas cooktop 😂). Will make it again. Thank you!

        1. Katerina - Diethood
          Katerina Petrovska

          Yes, because 1% milk (low fat) has a thinner consistency and it’s less rich in taste. Fat is what makes dairy products creamier.

          1. Katerina - Diethood
            Katerina Petrovska

            Yes. Combine 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 3 tablespoons cold water and whisk until smooth. Stir that into the soup and continue to cook for couple minutes, or until thickened.

  22. This soup is absolutely delicious and heart warming! I have made it multiple times during quarantine, and have been making it for family members and friends. It is always a hit and the broth is amazing. The only thing I add is stirring in some Parmesan and a scoop of cream cheese at the end (I read this in other reviews), I’m sure it doesn’t need this but it does add some extra lusciousness! LOVE!

  23. This soup is simply amazing. Sub’d chicken bone stock and used 1/2 half&half, 1/2 skim milk. WOW!

      1. Wha?? Only 11
        WW Smart Points??? This soup tastes so sinful and delicious! I made it as written but added chopped mushroom. I had no problem getting the soup to thicken and I boiled it for about 10 minutes after adding the half/half. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

  24. This is so tasty and comes together quickly. I throw together a salad and maybe a loaf of store bought Italian bread, and there’s a hearty fall or winter supper for a work night. I’m a happy lady at work the next day with leftover soup for lunch. I use fresh tortellini. A fancy touch that goes a lot further than saucing the tortellini, so it’s still an economical meal. Looking forward to more soup recipes from your website!

    1. I made it in a crock pot but I did’t add the spinach and tortellini until about an hour before I wanted to eat it.

  25. This soup is amazing! It is a now a go to in my house. I like to add celery and mushroom and occasionally I substitute mini beef ravioli instead of the Tortellini. THANK YOU 😊 🤩😘 for sharing this great versatile recipe!

  26. This is a great recipe. It’s frequently requested by my wife and sisters. Sometimes we add mushrooms but it’s pretty perfect as is.

  27. Ok, it’s time to take a stand. Can we stop with the unnecessary life monologues before every recipe? Your preschooler and your cankles serve no purpose to this recipe. Just. Get. To. The. Recipe. Please. We don’t care about this other stuff.

    Soup was delicious though.

      I appreciate your comment and opinion, and thank you for sharing it, but this is my website, my content, my story. I can’t believe a picture of my daughter, and a bit of this-and-that about her first day of preschool would bother you so much. It was a proud-mom-moment and felt that I could share that with my readers. At the time (this recipe was shared in 2015), more people came to blogs to read about our personal stories. Times have changed, clearly, but I can’t imagine a picture of a young girl going to school would make you want to leave a comment like this.

      Also, there’s a button at the very top of every post labeled as “JUMP TO RECIPE”. Click on it and you won’t have to deal with my monologues.

      1. WOAH the negative comments on here made my jaw drop. 😨 Shame.
        ANYWAY…. Made this tonight, delish!!!! I actually am weird and subbed out the carrot for tomatoes so with the cream it made it look like a Valentine’s Day soup 😅 also used chicken broth instead of veggie. So good tho!!!! ♥️♥️♥️

    2. Mk, consider how many free recipes you’ve gotten from bloggers. These don’t come without effort. Maybe try thanking instead of criticizing?

      Katerina, your daughter is a cutie. Thanks for this recipe.

    My husband and son LOVE this soup. It is super easy to make and is a great way to get them to eat vegetables.

  30. I made this recipe and followed all of the directions. It did not turn out as creamy as I would have liked using just milk. I added half of an 8oz block of cream cheese (that’s all I had at the time) and it helped improve the consistency. Next time I make it, I’m going to use heavy cream to see if it improves the creaminess. Also, in my opinion, the amount of Italian seasoning, 1 Tbsp, is too much for my taste, the flavor was a little over powering. Next time I’m going to use half or even a third of it instead. Other than that, this was a really good soup that paired up nicely with garlic bread sticks.

    1. Have you ever frozen this soup? I’m thinking I would leave the tortellini out and then cook it when reheating the soup since they’re so quick to cook, but wondered about freezing and reheating a cream based soup. I haven’t done it before. Thoughts?

  31. Katerina, I never read blogs just recipies,, but for some reason I read yours and I loved it. Your are a very good commucator and I loved your humor.

    I followed the recipe exactly as written and it is awesome! I used heavy cream and it was thick. I also used a chicken/herb tortellini which my wife loved. I may try a three cheese tortellini the next time. I have made this recipe a total of three times in the last 6 weeks so I know it spot on! Thanks for sharing.

  33. I never boil cream because it will separate and break down…that includes half and half. I suggest not boiling the soup after the cream is added.

  34. Is there a conversion for coconut flour (instead of wheat flour) & coconut milk (in place of dairy)? I’m trying to avoid everyone’s allergies in one dish.

    1. Katerina - Diethood
      Katerina Petrovska

      Hi!
      I’d use 1-1/2 tablespoons cornstarch in place of flour, if you can. In as far as dairy, you can definitely use non-dairy “milk”.

  35. I made this tonight for the GF and I and it was delicious. I followed the recipe as written but the soup didnt thicken as i would have liked. Any suggestions?

    1. Avatar photo
      Ginger Thomas

      You should make a simple roux with equal parts flour and butter then add that to your veggie broth in the recipe. The recipe doesn’t really specify to do it this way, which will make the flour more lumpy and take longer to thicken the broth. For my dairy I also use half and half. My soup turned out perfect and delicious! The only addition was a little parm at the end.

    2. I had the same problem. I followed the recipe as written, using 2% milk, but it didn’t thicken up like i would have liked. The soup, though, was delicious. I will try the flour/butter trick next time or use a heavier cream in place of the milk. GF loved it so will definitely be making it again.

    I have made this twice and my husband and I loved it. I didn’t have fresh carrots so I used canned carrots and added some polka kielbasa. It was delicious. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.

  37. This one’s a keeper! We used mini tortellini and coconut milk. So good! Will definitely make again.

  38. I just made this for my husband and myself. Pregnant me was craving something hot and creamy. This was delicious though I have to admit I didn’t measure a single thing. I love recipes that you can just estimate each ingredient and adjust to taste. I also wanted more veggies (I’m a vegetarian so I often add more to any recipe) so I added a can of diced tomatoes without draining it and it was the perfect touch. Will make again.

  39. You know you found a good soup when your kid ask you almost begs you make it. This easy to make and my family loves it. I have made this several times. We got a football game tonight need something ready eat eat so we can get to going. So I’m making this yummy soup.

    1. I really liked how this soup tasted and how quickly and easily it went together. I didn’t have spinach so I added peas and mushrooms. It was a great choice for meatless Monday.

  40. It’s a perfect rainy day for soup and I’ve been wanting to try this one! I modified it just a little by adding chicken stock instead of vegetable stock. And also because my family needs something a little more hearty, I knew I wanted to try adding some spinach & asiago chicken sausage. It was the perfect combination. I’ve definitely added this to our list of favorites!
    Thank you for sharing!

  41. Hi! I just moved to New Zealand from Austin, Texas this last December and I kept waiting for summer to start and then all of a sudden the first day of autumn came and went and I was like, “THAT’S what you call summer?!” And now it’s May and winter is creeping in and it’s like Kiwis have never heard of central heating. Back home it’s already getting close to the 90s and I’m down here in the southern hemisphere wearing my leopard print slippers and a hoodie tied up around my face (with a knit Peruvian hat sticking out underneath because this shows my boyfriend I’m about to die from the cold and we need a house with GD central heating please!) and I’m cooking your creamy tortellini soup and oh my gosh…it was just what I needed. So delicious and comforting! They say it snows in June here…this Texas girl will be making all your soup recipes. Our kitchen is the warmest room in the house, so that’s where I’ll be, bundled up and cooking your soups.

  42. Great, easy recipe! I added mace (nutmeg) and a bit of fenugreek at the end which really added to the depth of flavor, but it was good before I added them.

      Hi Lauren! The recipe as is comes out to around 2 cups per person. I hope that helps! 🙂

  44. I made this soup for dinner last night and it was delicious. I just added fresh cracked pepper to my bowl before eating. I could believe I could make such a yummy soup in such a short amount of time. Finally a soup I can make after work that is ready by dinner time!

  45. this soup was delightful.

    added mushrooms and peas for my own personal touch but the base and soup is perfect within itself.
    didnt even add that much cream or milk and it still tasted decadent, rosemary from the garden a nice touch.

    thank you for this lovely soup!!!!

  46. I made a batch of this soup the other day for my husband and I and it was DELICIOUS. I am pregnant and have been having a very hard time finding food that is actually appetizing to eat. This seriously hit the spot, I have had at least one bowl of it everyday for the last 3 days…. In fact I’m eating a bowl now for lunch and it’s still delicious! This recipe is perfect! The carrots, spinach and onions were sublime! I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth just because I can’t stand the smell of vegetable broth for some reason! Lol. Used regular milk and it came together SO GOOD. I ate mine just the way it was made and loved it, sprinkled some Parmesan cheese on my husbands and he said it was “over the top!” This recipe is absolutely perfect for my family! Thank you so much for sharing!!

    10 stars! 10 thumbs up!

    I made this tonight and this was by far the BEST tortellini soup recipe I’ve ever made!!! I didn’t have carrots on hand so that was eliminated, and I only added some parm cheese on top when I served it. Thank you for sharing!

  49. I made this tonight. I had to make a few changes, though. I didn’t have the spinach on hand but I will definitely add it next time I make it. I also only had chicken broth so I used that.

    This is outstanding. It’s a definite comfort food.

    Thank you for sharing it.

    cheers!

    1. Very good receipe, made it by directions first time, made it my own 2nd time,no ita. Seasoning, add celery & chicken, so delish doubled and no loftovers. House full of boys. They Loved it !! Thank You

  50. Made this for a cold, rainy Friday night’s meal and it was stupendous! I’ll definitely make agin. Was a refreshing change from tomato base tortellini soups,

  51. The hubby dislikes cookedand or wilted spinach. Will only eat raw. Has anyone tried it with kale? I know, he is crazy. Will eat kale but not spinach! Lol

    1. Katerina - Diethood
      Katerina Petrovska

      Hi!! I’ve made it with kale plenty of times and it’s just as good. The only thing I do different when I make it with kale is that I stir in the kale at the very beginning with the onions. I hope that helps. 🙂

  52. I tried this tonight. It’s really good, Lighter than the usual tomato based soup like this I usually make. I love the spinach and carrots in it- sliced the carrots thin and they cooked perfectly in the time allowed. Great meal. Added a bit more pepper but other than that loved it as is. Gonna try and freeze it- thanks for great recipe

  53. Super delicious!! I’m not quite ready for soup yet since it is still in the upper 90’s-100’s here in Texas. However, as soon as the first “cool” front comes through I will be making this soup. Thanks for the great recipe!!

  60. This looks hearty! Yum! Thanks for sharing because I pinned it. I think this’ll be a great lunch when it starts getting cooler.

    The first day of school is always so sentimental for me. Good for you to not cry…Felicia looks so happy to go!! She’s so precious and I love, love this soup, my dear. xx

  62. 10 am is absolutely not too early in occasions like this one. I couldn’t believe it either when BOTH my kids couldn’t care less about me on their respective first days of preschool. Buaaaaaaaahhhh!!!

    Great first soup after 9 months break 🙂 Looks absolutely gorgeous. Almost as gorgeous as your princess.
