This hearty vegetable tortellini soup is a comforting, one-pot meal packed with vibrant veggies, tender pasta, and rich tomato-herb flavour—perfect for cozy dinners with crusty bread on the side.

Method

Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat.
Add onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Add garlic and dried herbs and stir for 2 minutes.
Add celery and zucchini and continue sautéing for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the bay leaves
Add tomato paste, tomatoes, water and stock and stir for 5 minutes. Add the canned beans. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes to bring together the flavours.
Remove the lid, add the tortellini, broccoli and green beans and stir occasionally (making sure the tortellini is submerged in the liquid) for about 5 – 8 minutes. Add the chopped parsley and season well.
Serve with crusty bread and butter.
