Ingredients
- 1 package tortellini
- 2 cups mixed roasted vegetables
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare your mixed vegetables by chopping them into roughly equal-sized pieces to ensure even roasting.
- Spread the chopped vegetables on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until vegetables are caramelized and tender.
- In a large pot, pour the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Add the tortellini to the simmering broth and cook according to package instructions, typically 7-9 minutes, until they float and are tender.
- Stir in the roasted vegetables, Italian seasoning, and heavy cream. Reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Remove from heat and let the soup rest for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs like basil or parsley.
Tips
- Vegetable Roasting Secrets: Cut vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even caramelization and prevent burning.
- Maximize Flavor: Use a mix of colorful vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots for visual appeal and diverse taste.
- Cream Technique: Add heavy cream at the end of cooking to prevent curdling and maintain a smooth, silky texture.
- Seasoning Pro Tip: Toast your Italian seasoning in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding to enhance its aromatic qualities.
- Make-Ahead Magic: This soup tastes even better the next day, so don't hesitate to prepare it in advance for meal prep.
- Garnish Upgrade: Fresh herbs like basil or parsley can elevate the soup's presentation and add a burst of freshness.
