One Pot Creamy Tortellini Soup
If you love soup and need something new – then this One Pan Creamy Tortellini Soup is something you must try! Because you only need one pan, clean up is easy. Plus, this Tortellini Soup recipe makes a lot, so you can have leftovers or freeze for another day.
I’m of the opinion that everyone needs a good tortellini soup on hand. This One Pot Creamy Tortellini Soup is at the top of my list!
It is creamy! Plus, all the flavors blend well to make a flavorful dish that your family will love.
What is a roux?
A roux is a mixture of fat and flour that is the base for making smooth, thick soups and sauces. We used butter for this recipe.
In this recipe, we saute the veggies and garlic in the butter before adding the flour. When it is time to add the flour, add it slowly, while whisking, to avoid clumping.
Have the chicken broth ready and on hand to add when your flour and butter are combined into a thick paste.
Stir constantly while slowly adding the chicken broth. Again, the goal is to avoid lumps by adding slowly and whisking constantly. Wire whisks are a must for this recipe!
Tips for making homemade soups:
- Double your recipe. While this recipe already makes a lot, if you know it’s a favorite, consider doubling and freezing for an easy meal another day.
- Add salt last. It’s best to add salt to taste at the end. You don’t always know how salty various ingredients, such as canned beans, may be.
- Cook the noodles in the soup. Cooking the tortellini in the soup, rather than in a separate pot of water allows the noodles to soak up the flavor.
