This light Weight Watchers tortellini soup is only 4 points and made with fresh, real ingredients like cheese tortellini, spinach, carrots, onions, and tomatoes.

A light and healthy tortellini soup has spinach and carrots floating in the broth.

If you need a light and healthy soup that comes together super quickly on a busy weeknight, one of the best options is this Weight Watchers friendly cheese tortellini soup.

I love that this easy soup recipe can be made with fresh vegetables from my fridge but works just as well with frozen vegetables if you want to prep things ahead of time.

It only takes a few minutes to cook and is a satisfying dinner served with a warm slice of bread.

Weight Watchers Friendly

I actually really love the Weight Watchers program. And no this is not sponsored in any way.

I love their focus on real food, sensible portions, and flexible accountability for things like my beloved ice cream.

My approach to the routine is to focus on recipes I would normally want to make for our family and just try to lighten them a bit or reduce the portion for myself.

I know that pretty much anything in my pantry actually CAN work on the program, it's just all about how I use it.

Busy Night Friendly

Last night was one of our busy after school activity nights.

I had 30 minutes between drop-off and pick-up to pull something together for us to eat. This recipe took only 15 minutes to make. Rock On!

I left it to do it's simmering while I went back to get the kids and it was ready to go when we got home.

I loved that when Tim came home he was able to know exactly how many points our dinner was worth (Only 4 points per serving!) and then adjust his portion according to his budget for the meal.

We all ate the same thing -- including the kids! (Little Pea required it to be deconstructed with raw spinach and carrots on the side and tortellini SEPARATE but close enough.)

The recipe calls for 8 servings at 4 points each.

All you need to make this easy soup is:

  • Cheese Tortellini from the refrigerator case
  • Chicken Stock
  • Olive Oil
  • Minced Garlic
  • Diced Tomatoes
  • Fresh Celery
  • Fresh Onion
  • Fresh Carrots
  • Fresh Baby Spinach
  • Italian or Mediterranean Herb Blend
  • Thyme
  • Dried Basil

How to Make It

Start by dicing the fresh vegetables. This step can be done days in advance, you could just store it all in a plastic storage bag in the fridge.

The small dice will help the soup cook faster.

The diced onion, carrots, and celery are in a large mixing bowl next to a cutting board with a chef knife.

To cook the soup, saute the vegetables and minced garlic in a little olive oil until they are softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the can of diced tomatoes and then the chicken broth and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the cheese tortellini and baby spinach last. They only need 2 minutes to cook.

Step by step photos show how to build the tomato based broth for the tortellini soup.

You'll want to serve the soup immediately after the tortellini are cooked or they will get too soft in the broth.

The tortellini soup is simmering in a large blue pot.

Serving Suggestions

Weight Watchers friendly tortellini soup in a bowl with a spoon on a red plate.

We like to add just a small sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese over the top.

You could serve this soup with a little piece of bread for dunking. My baked crostini would be a perfect sized portion.
