Spinach tortellini soup
I love a warm, comforting bowl of soup in the winter time, or really any time. It’s like a big ole hug, wrapping it’s arms around you. Here are more quick and easy soup recipes if you are looking for easy dinner ideas.
This tortellini soup is creamy and so flavorful. The garlic bread seasoning mix gives it an amazing depth of flavor and the sausage seasoning supports it with tons of flavor too.
I just love tortellini. Those yummy little belly buttons are always packed with flavor too. It’s my favorite pasta. (I’m not a big fan of pasta by nature.
Adding a bit of cream or milk to the soup gives the liquid this uncious feeling that puts the soup over the top.
My sister and I were together with our family making seasoning mixes for the year. It was a fun day of making taco seasoning, ranch seasoning, chili seasoning, barbecue rub, and Italian seasoning as well as some new ones like steak and poultry. Check out all of our homemade flavorings here.
We had a lot of leftover ingredients and started creating a seasoning for garlic bread. Man, we knocked it out of the park and I started using it on everything from scrambled eggs, to roasted vegetables, meat and more. I made an amazing compound butter too.
My sister and mom have been using it in mashed potatoes and to top baked potatoes and all kinds of other ways too. It’s a winner. It is what puts this tortellini soup over the top.
Nightshade free soup
I have a sensitvitiy to nightshades, so I’m always looking for nightshade free foods to make. I cook a lot at home because when I eat out, I usually get sick. I love tortellini, but most recipes for it call for tomatoes which are a big no no for me.
This recipe can be completely nightshade free if you find sausage without peppers. My nightshade sensitivity allows me to eat tiny amounts of nightshades, so I go with traditional blue and gold sausage because it’s my favorite. There are no other nightshades in the soup.
When I served this soup, my husband who is a self professed soup not liker, was really impressed and raved about it. You can add whatever vegetables you like to the soup to make it what you would enjoy.
But this was one of the best combinations I’ve come up with and now every time I make it, we are amazed at how good it is. I used dried tortellini, but you can use fresh or frozen as well.
If you want to use your instant pot to cook your soup, you can. Just use the saute feature to start the soup and cook the sausage, onions, and carrots.
Then switch to pressure cook and dump in the tortellini, stock, and seasoning and seal it and set it for half the cooking time on the package instruction. Mine called for 10 minutes, so I would cook it for 5. Then when the timer goes off, do the quick release.
