Description

Hearty and comforting soups are perfect for these cold winter months. This tortellini and white bean soup is an easy, healthy and family friendly weeknight meal. It is made in one-pot in under half an hour!

There are many variations of tortellini soup, and the addition of white beans adds fibre, plant-based protein and iron to this vegetarian soup. As the white beans soften, they also add wonderfully creamy texture to the soup.

My family loves this recipe and I hope yours does too!
