Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes

simple, quick, vegetarian and super affordable

I put the vegetable stock and the passata in a large pot and bring the liquid to a boil. Next, I add the soup vegetables and let them simmer in the broth for about 5 minutes. Then I add the tortellini and let the whole thing simmer for another 20 minutes. I always choose dried tortellini because they are smaller and don’t expand as much in the soup as fresh ones. Season the soup to taste with salt, ground pepper, and fresh Italian herbs. Serve with a fresh baguette or a delicious ciabatta bread. Tip: I always use good frozen vegetables for the soup. They contain 10 different vegetables and are of great quality. If you’re not so keen on the vegetarian version, you can enhance the soup with Mettklößchen (meat dumplings). These add a real flavor to the soup.
