A classic minestrone soup with a tortellini twist! RECIPE INCLUDES stove top method!
Minestrone Soup
The whole entire family LOVES THIS Slow Cooker Tortellini Minestrone Soup! This is one of those recipes where I probably shouldn’t call it a certain name (Minestrone) because I’ve swapped something for something else — in this case, an even better and more delicious swap in the form of tortellini. After publishing this insanely popular Creamy Tortellini Soup, we had a few bags of tortellini lying around that were meant to be emergency stashes for our video. Didn’t need them = lying around tortellini > wanted minestrone > made it > thought ‘what would happen if I added tortellini to my soup?’ A miracle.
HOW DO YOU MAKE TORTELLINI MINESTRONE SOUP?
Tortellini Minestrone soup can’t get any easier…especially when done in the slow cooker. All you’re going to do is throw onions, carrots, celery, green beans, tomatoes, garlic, zucchini, butternut squash (or diced pumpkin) and spinach in a slow cooker. Feel free to swap out veggies for your favourites (peas, corn, potatoes, kale, etc). There is so much flavour here just from using fire roasted tomatoes with tomato paste, chicken stock, herbs and parmesan rind. Tortellini is added at the end of cooking because they don’t need long at all. Don’t have a slow cooker? NO WORRIES. I’ve included a stove top method too.
Kids and adults alike love this soup! Make a double batch of the soup without the tortellini, and freeze in serving sizes in air tight containers. When you’re ready to serve, warm up each batch in the microwave or in a pot over medium-low heat. Add the tortellini before serving. Serve Minestrone soup with parmesan cheese and easy garlic bread to mop up the broth. There’s nothing like a good, hearty soup on a cold, miserable winter night!
