Ingredients required
Fresh Tortellini – you will get fresh tortellini in the refrigerated section of your grocery stores. We don’t eat eggs so I have used Kite hill brand vegan/plant-based tortellini. You may use any fresh tortellini.To Substitute tortellini, you can use fresh ravioli, gnocchi, or any other dry pasta of your choice.Vegetables – Veggies such as carrots, bell pepper, celery, broccoli, and spinach provide the best flavors. You could also add pumpkin, sweet potato, kale, corn, zucchini, etc!Heavy cream – To make it lighter, simply use evaporated milk or half-and-half. To make it vegan, use coconut cream or coconut milk.Vegetable stock – If you don’t have stock on hand, use water.Seasoning – For seasoning, I have used Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.Bay leaf – You can skip if you don’t have.Onion and garlic for the aroma and flavors.Fresh herb – Used thyme to enhance the flavors of this soup. You can substitute thyme with basil.Extra virgin olive oil – you can use butter instead of oil.

Turn on the instant pot on saute normal mode. Once hot, add oil, garlic, onion, and celery. Saute for a minute. Now add carrots and bell peppers. Saute for a few seconds. Add tortellini, Italian seasoning, black pepper, salt, and vegetable stock. Scrape the bottom with a spoon and make sure nothing is stuck. Now add bay leaf and thyme strings. Secure Instant Pot lid, making sure the valve is set to “sealing”. Cancel the saute function, and Press the Pressure Cook or Manual button and use the +/- buttons to set the timer for 2 minutes. Once the timer beeps, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes and let out the remaining pressure by carefully moving the valve to “venting” to perform a quick release. When the pin drops, remove the lid and set aside. Take out the bay leaf and thyme string. Now add spinach, broccoli, and heavy cream. Give the soup a good stir and heat for about 1 minute on saute mode. Serve warm with crusty bread and a good salad.
To make this soup spicy – this soup is not spicy, but if you prefer it spicy. add some red crushed pepper.Always add spinach and broccoli at the end to retain its texture.Nutmeg powder can be added to enhance the flavors.
Grab a bowl of Instant Pot Vegetable Tortellini Soup, a hunk of crusty bread, maybe even a good salad, and curl up on the couch with your favorite show.
