VARIATIONS ON CREAMY TOMATO TORTELLINI SOUP
- Creamy Chicken Tortellini Soup: Instead of making a vegetarian Tortellini Soup, you can add in some shredded chicken breast to make a chicken tortellini soup. Chicken stock will be preferable to vegetable broth in Creamy Chicken Tortellini Soup. Add in the chicken before the broth to make sure the chicken is cooked through with the veggies.
- Other meats: Instead of chicken tortellini soup, turkey or sausage tortellini soup would also be delicious. If you decide to use sausage you could use Italian sausage or spicy sausage to give the soup some extra kick. Again, you’ll want to be sure to brown the sausage or turkey before you add in the broth.
- Tortellini: Instead of using cheese tortellini, you can use spinach tortellini. There’s already spinach in this tomato soup recipe, so making it a spinach tortellini soup will blend well and won’t change the rest of the ingredients.
- Cheese: Along with the cheese-filled tortellini, this soup recipe has extra cheese sprinkled over the top. The recipe calls for parmesan cheese, but you can change that up depending on what you have on hand. Try using mozzarella, provolone, or Pecorino Romano.
