A creamy and hearty Italian soup packed with dairy free tortellini pasta and cannellini beans. This easy to make vegan tortellini pasta e fagioli is a wholesome meal everyone will love.
Tortellini Soup
Pasta e Fagioli is a classic Italian soup whose name literally translates into “pasta and beans.” Typically it is made with ditalini noodles; however, we decided it needed to be kicked up a notch or two… enter tortellini!
The combination of creamy dairy free cheese inside a coat of pasta is a match made in heaven for this bean soup. Not only does it add protein (thanks to the “cheese” made from almonds) but it also turns a bowl of soup into a hearty meal. Then, serve it alongside some crusty bread for dipping and you have one amazing plant-based dinner. Yay, soup super!
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
- Vegan Tortellini – Little packages of comfort. This pasta screams home. We recommend the brand Kite Hill. 😍
- Cannellini Beans – Creamy and healthy, these white kidney beans are perfect for any soup.
- Carrot – Carrots give this soup a pop of color as will as added nutrients.
- Celery – The celery lends depth of flavor to this hearty soup.
- Onion & Garlic – The amazing aroma of onion and garlic is evident until the finished product.
- Crushed Tomatoes – Canned crushed tomatoes add acidity that compliments the herbs and spices.
- Vegetable Stock – The addition of vegetable stock turns it into a wonderful soup.
- Vegan Parmesan – Plant-based parmesan cheese (we love the brand Violife) gives this soup necessary salt as well as a slight creaminess.
- Herbs & Spices – A hit to the nose and the stomach, this combination is essential to the comforting power of this soup.
- Olive Oil – The additional flavor and necessary fat helps to meld all of the ingredients together.
FAQ & Tortellini Pasta e Fagioli Tips:
-
How do you pronounce pasta e fagioli?
- In the United States this soup is pronounced pasta fasul (fazool) which is derived from its Neapolitan name. However, you could also just call it pasta and bean soup!
-
What to serve with tortellini soup?
- Crusty bread is perfect for dipping in this soup. However, we would also suggest serving it alongside a light and healthy salad for one nutritious meal.
-
Time Saver.
- No need to boil the tortellini pasta separately! Simply allow the tortellini to cook while simmering in the soup.
-
Mix It Up.
- If you can’t find vegan tortellini, ravioli can also be used. We like the brand Kite Hill for both. However, any pasta noodle will work for a classic pasta e fagioli recipe.
