Meat: change up your meat if you prefer turkey sausage, cubed chicken or ground beef if you do not have sausage. Cream: heavy cream is best but if you are looking for a lighter side try half and half. Vegetables: add in chunks of potatoes, mushrooms, zucchini or even bell peppers. Tortellini: there are a few other flavors of tortellini or even ravioli will work great too. Chicken broth: for other flavoring try beef broth or vegetable broth. Tomato paste: a can of tomato sauce will also work to thicken and add that rich flavoring. Kale: switch it out for spinach if you prefer. Seasoning: if you don’t have Italian seasoning blend together rosemary, oregano, thyme and basil. Dairy-free: trade the cheese tortellini for a regular pasta like bowtie or penne and use greek yogurt or almond milk for a thickener. It will not be the same thickness and the taste will change but this will lead to a dairy-free tortellini soup. Gluten-free: omit tortellini pasta and substitute it with any gluten-free pasta and change the flour to a gluten-free flour.
