MEATBALL AND TORTELLINI SOUP



Meatball and Tortellini Soup image

This soup is a mixture of my mother's recipe and my own adjustments. It is perfect for a cold day and is usually even better the next day. Simply put it back on the stove, add a little water if needed, and warm it up. There is a lot of prep, especially because of making the meatballs homemade, but it is so worth it. My very favorite soup and full of good ingredients! My kids and husband love it too! Serve with Parmesan cheese and toasted bread.

PRESSURE COOKER CHEESE TORTELLINI AND MEATBALL SOUP RECIPE - (4/5)



Pressure Cooker Cheese Tortellini and Meatball Soup Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by kathya5084

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 1/3 cup sliced celery (around 6 to 7 trimmed celery hearts)
8 cups chicken stock or broth
38 to 40 frozen meatballs (around 20 ounces, I use Farmrich Italian)
1 8 ounce bag dried cheese-stuffed tortellini
2 1/2 cups chopped kale or spinach
1 tablespoon minced garlic or 2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/3 teaspoon sugar
1 1/3 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • With the cookers lid off, heat oil on HIGH or "BROWN" until sizzling. Place onion in cooker and saute until translucent, about 5 min. Add celery, chicken stock, meatballs, tortellini, kale, garlic, lemon juice, sugar and basil. Securely lock pressure cooker and set for 5 minutes on HIGH. Perform a QUICK RELEASE to release pressure. Stir in heavy cream and add salt and pepper to taste ( I didn't think it needed any) Serve with crusty rolls and a salad.

Tips:

  • For the meatballs: Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork for a flavorful and juicy meatball. Season the meatballs generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • For the tortellini: Use a high-quality tortellini for the best flavor and texture. Fresh tortellini is best, but frozen tortellini can also be used.
  • For the soup: Use a rich and flavorful broth for the soup base. Chicken broth or beef broth can be used, or you can make your own broth using bones, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Add vegetables to the soup for added flavor and nutrition. Carrots, celery, and onions are classic additions, but you can also add other vegetables like spinach, kale, or zucchini.
  • Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
  • Serve the soup hot with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and a side of crusty bread.

Conclusion:

This hearty and flavorful meatball tortellini soup is the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of tender meatballs, delicate tortellini, and rich broth, this soup is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
