Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery, stirring occasionally until softened and fragrant. The smell alone will tell you you’re on the right track!!
  2. Add the ground turkey or chicken to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Stir in garlic and Italian seasoning and let it bloom for about 30 seconds.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Give everything a good stir, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a gentle boil.

How to Make Weight Watchers Friendly Tortellini Soup Step by Step

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery, stirring occasionally until softened and fragrant. The smell alone will tell you you’re on the right track!!

Step 2: Cook the Protein

Add the ground turkey or chicken to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Stir in garlic and Italian seasoning and let it bloom for about 30 seconds.

Step 3: Build the Broth

Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Give everything a good stir, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a gentle boil.

Step 4: Add the Tortellini

Once the soup is boiling, add the tortellini. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook according to package instructions, usually about 5–7 minutes.

Step 5: Finish with Greens

Stir in the spinach or kale during the last minute of cooking. It wilts beautifully and adds so much color and nutrition.

Step 6: Taste and Serve

Season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan if your points allow.

What to Serve with Weight Watchers Friendly Tortellini Soup

This soup is filling on its own, but if you want to round out the meal:

  • A light side salad with lemon vinaigrette
  • Air-fried garlic toast made with low-point bread
  • Steamed green beans or roasted broccoli
  • A simple fruit bowl for dessert

Storage Instructions

Store leftover Weight Watchers Friendly Tortellini Soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Freezing Tips

If you plan to freeze, cook the soup without the tortellini and add it fresh when reheating. This keeps the pasta from getting mushy.
