This is a very simple soup to make since you don’t have to make the tortellini. With a saute, then cooking the pasta in the soup broth, it is ready in just about no time at all.
Wonderful as a soup course for any meal in the cooler months, with a few pieces of toasted baguette it can double as a light lunch or meal.
Rustic Tortellini Soup

Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 4 ounces mushrooms, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3-5 chopped garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup dry red wine, such as cabernet
- 1 quart chicken or vegetable broth
- 3 cups chopped Italian tomatoes
- salt and black pepper
- 9 ounces fresh cheese tortellini
- 1 tablespoon basil pesto
- 5 ounces baby kale
- 1 cup grated Asiago cheese
Method:
- In a heavy bottomed soup pot, saute the onion, mushrooms, and garlic in olive oil until soft.
- Take pan off heat, stir in wine, then return to heat and cook until most of the wine evaporates.
- Add chicken broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Add salt and black pepper to your taste.
- Stir in tortellini and cook as long as your package directs.
When tortellini is tender, add the basil pesto and kale, stirring until the kale wilts. - Remove soup from heat and stir in the Asiago cheese.
- Serve hot, sprinkled with more cheese if desired.

Pinned this one for later – looks wonderful!
Ooh yum, a new favourite for me, this was dee-licious!!!! I did omit the mushrooms (just not a huge fan) and cooked some finely sliced celery with the onion instead. I think the red wine is the secret ingredient here, just adds that extra I-dont-know-what 🙂 happily piled on the cheese! This is a robust and very very good soup, I helped myself to more than I needed! Thank you Sue, loved this recipe, thanks for sharing!!
Yummy…I haven’t added wine to a soup like this. Definitely will try it! Thank you.
Thanks!
