Ahh, yes. November has arrived. My favorite month for all the cozy soups. This vegan creamy tortellini vegetable soup is the coziest, most delicious and easiest soup! A few weeks ago, I posted a recipe for homemade vegan tortellini, and I wanted to show you another way to use it. You can also use store bought vegan tortellini, I recommend the Kite Hill brand. This simple hearty soup features, kale and carrots, but you can use any veggies you want.
What You Need For This Cozy Pot of Soup:
- Olive Oil: To start off the soup.
- Onion and Garlic: All good soups start with some fragrant onions and garlic.
- Thyme, Basil and Oregano: Season this soup beautifully.
- Tomato Paste: Gives the soup a light tomato flavor and a bit of sweetness and tanginess.
- Carrots and Kale: These are the veggies I chose for the soup.
- White Wine: For some nice acid and flavor.
- Vegetable Broth and Non-dairy Milk: To make the broth for the soup. I recommend coconut milk for extra creaminess or oat milk if you don’t want to use coconut.
- Vegan Parmesan: I used Violife.
- Vegan Tortellini: I recommend making my Vegan Tortellini or buying Kite Hill brand tortellini.
I have to be honest, every time I make this vegan creamy tortellini vegetable soup I always have to go back for a second bowl. It has even started getting chilly here in Florida and I am all about it. Snuggle up with some comfy blankets, a movie and a big bowl of this soup. Top with some grated vegan Parmesan and serve with some crusty bread. It is so so so perfect!
Why Should You Make This Comforting Meal?
- It’s simple and can be customized very easily.
- Everyone will absolutely love it.
- Hearty and comforting, but still pretty healthy.
- The tortellini can be cooked right in the soup.
- It tastes like heaven.

Notes
Nutrition
Made this tonight, so delicious, so easy!! Thank you for another great recipe.
I just polished off two bowls of this and need to rave. It would be delicious even without the tortellini. I mean, you made kale delicious. I think the broth is important. I finally shell out the big bucks for Imagine brand. The coconut milk made it killer. I subbed nutritional yeast for the vegan parmesan and it was yum yum yummo. Honestly, I might make this again with basic pasta in it instead of tortellini, because It is so rich and flavorful, it doesn’t need it. (But my husband liked the tortellini!)
