How to Freeze Creamy Tortellini Soup
This makes an excellent freezer meal! But for best results, stop at step 6. Freeze soup base and tortellini separately.
When ready to eat, thaw overnight in refrigerator.
Reheat soup base in a large pot or dutch oven. Bring to a boil and follow steps 7-10.
Notes
Be sure to not overcook your tortellini, or it will bust open.
We use Trader Joe’s Spinach Tortellini, but you can sub in tortellini of your choice (or even possibly ravioli or other stuffed pasta).
