Recipe

Creamy Vegetable Soup with Fresh Filled Tortellini

A warm spoon meal that sits somewhere between a rich vegetable soup and a filling main course.

Prep time: 20 minutes Serves: 2 Difficulty: easy (1/5)

Ingredients

• 250 g fresh tortellini, cheese or spinach filled
• 1 small yellow onion
• 1 large carrot
• 1 celery stalk, or half a small zucchini
• 700 ml vegetable or chicken stock, or water plus a stock cube
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons sour cream or cooking cream
• salt and pepper
• fresh parsley

Method

1. Cut the onion, carrot and celery or zucchini into small cubes.
2. Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables soften slightly and the onion turns translucent.
3. Pour in the stock. If you do not have stock, use 700 ml boiling water and a stock cube. Bring to a boil.
4. Add the fresh tortellini to the boiling soup. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or according to the package instructions.
5. In a small bowl, mix the cream with 2 tablespoons of hot soup from the pot. Pour the mixture back into the pot and stir gently.
6. Taste, season with salt and pepper if needed, and finish with chopped fresh parsley.

Tip: Fresh tortellini from the chilled section are a useful shortcut because they cook in only a few minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which tortellini work best?

Fresh cheese or spinach tortellini from the chilled section are the most practical choice because they cook in only a few minutes.

Can I use water instead of stock?

Yes, but the soup will have more flavour with vegetable or chicken stock. If you do not have stock, boiling water with a stock cube works well.

How do I keep the cream from splitting?

Mix the cream with a little hot soup first, then pour it back into the pot and stir gently. Do not let the soup boil hard after adding the cream.
