Creamy Tomato and Spinach Tortellini Soup with fresh basil, diced tomatoes, and spinach. This is healthy comfort food in my book!
If you haven’t noticed from this and this soup post, I’ve been in a soup craze lately! It’s just one of those meals that’s always warm and comforting, but also allows me to add lots of hidden, fresh veggies for my little guy to eat.
Since my Creamy Tomato and Spinach Tortellini recipe has been so popular, I wanted to try a tortellini soup inspired version of it! Boy am I glad I did–this is seriously a new favorite!
Consider trying these tortellini recipes:
- One Pan Creamy Lemon Chicken Tortellini
- Roasted Red Pepper Tortellini Pasta
- Vegetable Tortellini Soup

January 28, 2019 at 12:51 pmThis looks so yummy! I’m going to a Girls Night this week and I want to make this for the first time. If I were to add a meat (it’s going to be the main course and I would like to add a protein) what do you suggest? I’d love your input as I don’t want to mess up this delicious-looking dish!

February 3, 2019 at 6:48 pmFollow-up! I ended up doing two batches, so I did one with shredded grilled chicken breast added and also a batch with Italian sausage added! Both were really good, but the batch with the sausage disappeared very fast! It added a little kick of spice to an already delicious recipe! Thanks again Lauren!
