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!

Notes
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.

I have an 8 Qt. Can this be doubled for a crowd?
Yes! Keep the cook time the same.
Tortellini frozen when you add them or thawed?
Either refrigerated or frozen will work.
Just got our instant pot and this is one of the first recipes we made, it is a keeper! Didn’t change a thing. Thanks! Five stars for sure.
That’s great, Jim! Thank you. I’m happy that you liked it!
You forgot to say when to add the garbanzo beans?
Thank you, I’ve corrected it.
We loved this soup! Even my boyfriend who is a picky eater liked it. I froze the leftovers. This might be good with a spoonful of pesto added.
That’s great, Cora! Thank you for your review. I think some pesto would be nice.
