  • When the cooking time is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Then, do a quick release of the remaining pressure.

Notes

Here are a few tips for making this Instant Pot cheese tortellini soup recipe:
  • You can use any type of tortellini you like. I recommend using dried cheese tortellini, but you can also use meat tortellini or vegetable tortellini. The instant pot cooks them up quickly!
  • If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can make this soup in a regular pot. Cook dried tortellini in boiling water according to the package instructions, then drain. Mix all the ingredients together in a Dutch oven and bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the tortellini is softened.
  • You can also use any type of tomato pasta sauce you like.
