Meatball Tortellini Soup is a savory soup, filled with kale and turkey meatballs. It’s quick and easy to make, as well!
I’ve been in the middle of a project (a work project, not a “for fun” project…not that I’m not enjoying myself) and I forgot to make a post for today. Fortunately, I have one in my “just in case” folder.
Zach has made this soup for me a few times now and it’s delicious. In fact, now that I look at the pictures…I’d really like some.
Let’s get on with it, shall we?
Meatball Tortellini Soup
- 1 1/2 tbsps onion powder
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 16 ounces of meatballs (we make our own turkey meatballs–that will be a future post)
- 8 ounces cheese-stuffed tortellini
- 2 cups chopped kale or spinach
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
Step 01: We used a pressure cooker for this, but you can also use a pot. So there will be two directions. If you use homemade meatballs, you’ll make those first, set them aside, and then move on to the soup directions.
Regular Pot: Add chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and basil to the pot. Begin boiling on medium high heat.
Pressure Cooker: Add all ingredients to pressure cooker. Securely lock the lid and set for 5 minutes on high.
Step 02: Yeah, this is a really easy soup to make. 😛
Regular Pot: Once the liquid has starting boiling, add tortellini, meatballs, kale/spinach, and celery. Boil for about 15-20 minutes or until tortellini is tender. If your tortellini is stuffed, it may not even take that long.
Pressure Cooker: Perform a quick release.
Step 03: Add salt and pepper to taste and serve!
This soup is SO GOOD. I love using stuffed tortellini shells. I’m also really tempted to use stuffed ravioli next time. We’ll see!
You can use frozen meatballs or check out my recipe for homemade turkey meatballs.
Enjoy!
