Notes

  1. Don’t overcook the veggies. When you sauté the veggies do not forget to move them around the pot. You just want them to soften up a bit. Keep in mind that they will cook even more once you add the broth.
  2. Season at the very end. All soup reduces as it cooks. So if you add too much salt too soon it can get very concentrated and the soup can easily turn out too salty.
  3. Healthier Version. To make the soup even healthier you can omit the heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Then just cook it for a bit longer to thicken up or add more vegetable broth to thin it out.
  4. Leftover vegetable tortellini soup will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
