Vodka Tortellini Soup

this vodka tortellini soup is seriously heavenly. a creamy vodka sauce style broth filled with vegan tortellini and spinach is warming and delicious.

This soup has been on my radar for a little while now! I keep seeing creamy tomato soups with tortellini so I figured it was time to make my own version. I will be honest tomato soup doesn’t thrill me but a tomato soup based on vodka sauce definitely does. So, that is where the vodka tortellini soup came from.

How to Cook with Alcohol

Cooking with alcohol is something that always intimated me. I was always apprehensive and I won’t lie I thought I was going to get drunk from not cooking it down enough. I know that sounds silly but I was just nervous. So, after the first time I cooked with alcohol and realized how easy it was I wasn’t scared anymore. Here are some tips:

• Cook with liquors you like to drink. Don’t use the most expensive top shelf vodka but use one you like to drink. I like Tito’s for this.
• Do not have a high flame. Liquor is of course flammable so lower the heat and don’t spill anything. If you are really nervous just turn the heat off for a second.
• Let it reduce. It takes a few minutes for the liquor to reduce and cook down so let it do it’s thing.

Vegan Tortellini

I use the vegan tortellini from Kite Hill for this recipe! Now, if you want to be really extra you can actually make your own. I have a recipe on the blog for it but I will say it is very time consuming. The tortellini work well here because it is little pocket of pasta filled with vegan cheese and it is so delicious. However, if you can’t find vegan tortellini I think gnocchi would be a great alternative.
