Creamy Tortellini Fagioli Soup
Description
Creamy Tortellini Fagioli Soup incorporates ground beef or mild Italian sausage cooked with green peppers, onions, carrots, and garlic to build a flavorful base. Chicken broth and canned diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings combine with cream cheese to create a rich, creamy broth. Fresh cheese tortellini adds tender pasta pockets, while cannellini beans bring a soft, mild bean component. Spinach is added last to provide freshness and color. The soup is simmered gently to meld flavors and finished with salt and pepper seasoning.
The result is a comforting soup with a balance of creamy texture, mild spiced tomato broth, and varied bite from pasta, meat, beans, and vegetables. It works well as a warming lunch or light dinner and can be served with crusty bread. The inclusion of cream cheese gives it a noticeably creamy mouthfeel distinct from typical tomato soups.
