Quick and Easy Soup Recipe

This Easy Tortellini Soup recipe uses a jar of spaghetti sauce and a package of refrigerated tortellini to make a super quick and tasty tomato-based soup. Add in some frozen mixed vegetables, chicken broth, and plenty of seasonings and you have a hot, comforting meal on the table in just over 20 minutes.

There’s something inherently fun about the shape of tortellini and who doesn’t love a cheese filling?

Make It Vegetarian

To make this meal vegetarian use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. For the spaghetti sauce, I like to use Prego or Ragu since they are inexpensive and frequently on sale. But you can use any brand.

Don’t Overcook The Tortellini

Be sure not to overcook the tortellini. You actually want to undercook them some, especially if you are not eating the soup right away. They will continue to cook as the soup sits.

Easy Tortellini Soup is simple, comforting, and delicious. Sprinkle some fresh Parmesan cheese on top and serve with some crusty bread.

What Is The Best Bread To Serve With Tortellini Soup?

Garlic Bread or Bruschetta go great with any soup with pasta in it. It also goes great with Air Fryer Cheesy Crescent Rolls or Bacon Stuffed Cheesy Garlic Rolls. A green salad with Creamy Parmesan Dressing is another great addition.

Make It Spicy

This soup already has a little spiciness from the addition of 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes. Serve with hot sauce if you want it spicier. Reduce the crushed red pepper flakes to 1/4 teaspoon if you don’t want it spicy.

Hot To Store Easy Tortellini Soup

This soup is best eaten the day it is made but can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days. The tortellini will soak up a lot of the liquid overtime.

  1. I really really wish people would review recipes AFTER they’ve cooked and eaten it. OK it looks good and it sounds good but was it? Any tweaks? It would sure help me know if I want to make it….
    (I’m giving it 5 stars b/c I don’t want to bring your rating down but I have not made this soup)

  2. Soup season is my favorite! This tortellini soup looks so good! I love how easy it is too with the spaghetti sauce and chicken broth! It sounds fabulous!

    I love the idea of a quick-fix soup like this! Especially when those all-of-a-sudden winter colds kick in. 😀

  5. Shashi @ runninsrilankan

    Tortellini soup is one of my favorites and I LOVE how simple this looks! (also, I’m kinda drooling over that gorgeous soup crock!)

  8. Isadora @ she likes food

    It has been freezing here lately, and by freezing I mean 70 degrees but it is cold me to! All I’ve wanted to do is curl up with a big bowl of soup and sit until a blanket. This soup looks perfect! I love that it is packed with so much goodness so it is probably really filling too!

  9. Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice

    This tortellini soup sounds incredible, Christin! I love how easy this is to whip up. And I love that spaghetti sauce is used as the base. Sounds so flavorful!
