My schedule has been packed, so I haven’t had time to make soup for an actual meal lately. But I still spend Thursdays in the kitchen creating new recipes for you, and this tortellini soup was the star of last week’s content day. Not to play favorites, but it’s one of my best yet—easy, delicious, and nutritious—plus it’s a crowd-pleaser for the whole family.
I sent my parents home with a big container of tortellini soup, and my dad immediately texted asking me for the recipe. It’s the first time he’s done that in a while—so if I haven’t convinced you, Marc Bushell thinks you should make this soup, too.
This week’s menu features three incredible tomato-based soups to cozy up with as the weather gets colder. One’s vegan, another’s vegetarian, and one has ground beef, so you can pick your favorite or keep all three in your repertoire this winter.
Here’s what’s on the menu:
Creamy Vegan Tomato Soup
Tortellini Soup
Lasagna Soup

Creamy Vegan Tomato Soup
Made creamy with coconut milk, this silky smooth soup is the grown-up, better-for-you version of the canned soup we all grew up with. The coconut adds subtle flavor to make it interesting (but not overwhelming). Pair with your favorite toasted sandwich for the ultimate meal to take you back to your childhood.
Tortellini Soup
With greens, fresh tomatoes, PASTA, and lots of parm, this soup will be on your meal rotation all winter. You can use a blender or an immersion blender to pulse it all together (whatever you have) and feel free to throw in whatever hearty greens you have. I used broccolini, but broccoli or finely chopped kale would also be great. And you can use whatever kind of tortellini you want, too!
Lasagna Soup
I’ve been making more lasagnas than I care to admit lately, and this is a great way to mix it up. (And it’s faster than stacking layers of noodles.) The ground beef gives it extra nutrients, and if you want, you can add a sprinkle of parm at the end. There’s nothing better than getting a tiny lasagna noodle in every spoonful.
Really want to try the lasagna soup 🥣❤️
