Instant Pot Tomato tortellini soup recipe

One of the few things I remember really well from my trip to Bologna was the tortellini soup I had in one of the restaurants there. I love tortellini. I love soup. But for whatever reason I never thought of putting one and the other together, till I knew it was possible. Ever since I have wanted to try it at home and I finally did (even if I did some modifications to it). Below, my tortellini soup recipe with the Instant Pot!

🇫🇷 La recette est disponible en français tout en bas!

Disclaimer : Some people have noticed that my so-called tortellini look more like capelletti or ravioli. Which yeah, is true. The package of pasta we used described these as “mooned shaped tortellinis”, which is why I called them like so. Either way, it doesn’t help that I’m terrible at remembering which is ravioli and which is tortellini, kinda like a what’s left and what’s right situation. Fear not, this recipe works well with any shape of filled pasta (Already tried with raviolis, with tortellinis and again with these weirdly shaped “tortellini”)

Ingredients

The ingredients list is quite straightforward:

• Tortellini of your choice. I used ricotta & spinach tortellinis.
• Canned tomatoes.
• Vegetable broth (homemade or store-bought!)
• Some mushrooms
• Oregano

How to prepare this tortellini soup recipe

This was super easy to make and it joins the “dump and go” club. We will put all the ingredients (except the mushrooms and oregano) in the Instant Pot. Then we will put the mushrooms and oregano on top.

Proceed to close the lid, set the timer at 0! (really important, otherwise you’ll end up with overcooked tortellini) and just let the pot do its magic. We will do 5 minutes of NR then a QR. The result will blow your mind (really, the flavors of this tortellini soup recipe were outstanding).

A tortellini life

I love pasta. Truly one of the best inventions in life. And I love tortellini even more. Such a nice thing, and always fast to make (when you buy them at the store). One of my resolutions this year was to make my own tortellini from scratch… Maybe one day I’ll do it (I’d need to buy the pasta machine before) and I’m sure I’d love it.

While I’m still drooling about this recipe, you can check out other pasta dishes like my one-pot pasta recipe or my infamous lasagna.

🎙️But also, i’d love to hear what your favorite pasta dish is! Is it mac&cheese? pasta carbonara? I know I love pasta carbonara. Tell me more in the comments and also, if you try the recipe, don’t forget to tag tofu_cado and show me the results!
