Weight Watchers Friendly Tortellini Soup

 If you want to crock pot this, check below the instructions for stovetop.  Easy, peasy.

A delicious but light soup with an Italian flavor simmered right in. Heavy on veggies and low in calories but not low in flavor this Tortellini Soup is perfect for chilly days or nights. I first found a recipe similar to this on weightwatchers.com but I didn’t care for the huge stewed tomatoes and felt it was missing some flavor, while this version is a little higher in calories and fat I think that it is still an amazingly healthy choice.

Even though there are a lot of ingredients, this is a very simple recipe to prepare and all the  flavors blend well together to create a filling and tasty lunch or satisfying dinner for any night of the week.  My husband threw some cooked Italian Sausage into his bowl- I’m thinking next time I make it if the family wants a meat-filled meal, I’ll add some Turkey or Chicken Italian Sausage for a little extra protein for them.

I started working full time at a local middle school in fall 2021 and some of my students are insistent that I am mean.

Comments

  1. Debbie says

    This is by far one of the best soup recipes I’ve come across on Pinterest!!!! I add Italian chicken sausage for a little protein…. it’s the bomb!!!! I didn’t tell my boyfriend that it was “Weight Watchers” when I made it…He LOVED IT!!!

  3. Bridgette says

    I can’t find plain tortellini pasta. Does it come this way. All I’m finding is cheese filled, spinach filled etc… thanks!

  5. Katie says

    I’m just wondering if anyone has tried freezing this after the crock pot method has been used and how it was when you went to eat the frozen portions.I love to make soup and chili and freeze leftovers for a quick meal on busy nights.

  6. Shelby L says

    This recipe sounds great and I’ll be trying it this week but just and FYI your ingredient list does not have carrots and celery listed but then your instructions talk about sautéing those two items.

  8. Cindy says

    I love fresh tortellini and have it nearly every week. Since I usually have homemade chicken broth and fresh spinach too, this one is a winner for me!

  11. Kim H. says

    3 points per cup is that the old points or the points plus? I am doing the old points. Thank you for a great recipe!

  13. Allyson says

    This soup looks amazing! I’m a little confused. Is it 8 points a serving or 3 points for a cup? Just want to make sure I calculate the points correctly!
    Thanks so much!

  14. Heather Hollands says

    I’ve been looking for some new Weight Watchers soup recipes. Tortellini is so quick and easy to cook….and so delicious.

  15. Char Gipson says

    I absolutely loved this recipe! My family really enjoyed it too. I just chopped the veggies small so the kids would eat it! Thanks for sharing!!

  17. Melissa says

    This soup is wonderful! We’ve made it several times! I only add about 1/2 tsp of black pepper since I’m not big pepper fan, but otherwise I follow the recipe exactly and absolutely love it! Thanks for sharing!

  18. Claudette roller says

    this is great but it doesn’t tell the serving size just that it serves 8 but how big are the servings and how many points per serving.

  20. Tammy Litke (@threedifferent) says

    I love love love Weight Watchers. I used them to lose 30 pounds over 10 years ago and I learned to eat properly so I never gained the weight back again. This recipe looks fantastic – definitely will try it out.

  27. Amanda Love says

    Soups sounds delicious! I am a big fan of soups so may give this one a try. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I have been thinking of weight watchers lately after watching the commercials but just don’t want to spend the money. 🙂

  30. Jaidi Clayton says

    Did you by chance calculate out the actual Weight Watchers points on this? I didn’t see it in the recipe. I am just starting out… And just trying to get a menu for the week planned…Looks wonderful though!

  34. Jessica says

    This would be perfect for dinner tonight. It’s freezing here in South Florida and all I have been craving today is something warm and hardy. I love tortellini pasta but have never had it in soup. Gosh this looks tasty! 🙂

  36. M.Clark says

    Yum, this is a great recipe, I love that it’s all veggies. If you want more protein I suggest adding broccoli. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
