I haven’t posted many meals lately so here is a good one!
Dump & Go One-Pot Tortellini Soup
**dump it in, let it simmer, and dinner is DONE.** 🙌
This one-pot tortellini soup is:
Super easy — minimal prep + minimal dishes
Satisfying — precooked chicken sausage + cheese tortellini add protein and staying power
Veggie-packed — frozen mixed vegetables + spinach (which I added later and forgot to photograph 😂)
Flavorful — chicken broth + diced tomatoes make a simple but delicious base
Cozy & comforting — because easy doesn’t have to mean boring!
**What I used:**
• Precooked chicken sausage, sliced
• Frozen mixed vegetables
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• Frozen cheese tortellini
• Spinach, added toward the end
Cook the veggies and sausage, then dump the broth, diced tomatoes. Let it simmer for a while and then add the tortellini and spinach. I cooked a little longer for desired consistency.
I love meals like this because nutrition doesn’t have to mean complicated recipes, 15 ingredients, or hours of meal prep! Keeping a few convenience foods on hand—like frozen veggies, precooked sausage, broth, and frozen tortellini—can make it SO much easier to get a balanced, satisfying meal on the table.
Save this one for the next night you have zero desire to cook but still want a yummy nourishing meal 💜
