Instant Pot Vegetable Tortellini Soup

Today I'm bringing you another Instant Pot soup recipe. A simple, healthy vegetarian soup! Instant Pot Vegetable Tortellini Soup is what I like to call a "light comfort food".

This soup packs a lot of nutrition, due to the many vegetables, and is low in fat. The tortellini make it more filling. You could even omit the tortellini and replace it with meat for a low carb or gluten-free version, if you wish. It's a very versatile soup recipe!

I love making soup in the Instant Pot, and hardly ever make it on the stove top these days. I find it is much faster, in most cases, and the pressure really brings out the flavors. A one-pot meal is always a good thing!

If you are a soup lover like me, and want some other Instant Pot soup recipes, just type the word "soup" in the search bar in the menu at the top of this web page. A few of the vegetarian soup options are Instant Pot Fresh Corn Soup, Instant Pot Minestrone Soup, and Instant Pot Sweet Potato Kale Soup.

Many of my other Instant Pot soup recipes can also be made vegetarian by simply swapping chicken broth for veggie broth, and omitting the meat!

Recipe Notes

*There are different types of tortellini. The type used in this recipe
is found in the refrigerated section of the store. There is also a
dried version, which takes longer to cook. I don’t use the dried, I think it would need too much time and the veggies would get too soft. Frozen would also work.
