Rustic Italian Tortellini Soup Recipe
Creamy cheese tortellini simmers in a flavorful broth with tender veggies and beans in this Rustic Tortellini Soup. Easy to make, and nourishing, it’s perfect for a weeknight meal.
Tortellini Soup is one of my favorite soups to make. It’s so simple to make and I like to fill it with lots of veggies like carrots, celery, onions, fresh spinach and we often add beans for extra fiber and protein.
If you want to add meat, you can use crumbled Italian Sausage, add meatballs or you can add diced or shredded chicken to the soup. I’ve found my family loves it without – so we stick with a tomato-based Tortellini soup with lots of veggies and we normally add cannellini beans.
It’s delicious served with rustic bread and shaved or grated parmesan cheese. The best part is that it’s incredibly budget-friendly and perfect for a meatless Monday.

How to Make Rustic Tortellini Soup
Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the carrots, onion, and celery to the pot and cook until softened for about 6-7 minutes, stirring often. Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook until fragrant. Season with fresh thyme, salt, pepper, dried oregano and dried basil.
Add the canned beans, tomatoes, and broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the veggies to simmer for 20 minutes until tender.
Add the tortellini and chopped spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and tortellini is cooked through. Remove from the heat and top with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
