Where to buy Tortellini?
You can buy tortellini from almost any big grocery store in America. You can find them on the pasta aisle in the refrigerated and freezer sections.
I love the tortellini from Trader Joe's. They are small packets that are good for one-time use. They are freshly made, and on top of them, I love the flavor of the cheese in them.

Cooking on the stovetop?
Making vegetable tortellini soup is quick and easy. Take a dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pan. Heat it with olive oil. When it's hot enough, add minced garlic and onion to caramelize it.
Stir in zucchini and carrot into the pot for that nice golden texture. Add tomato paste/puree with Italian seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes. After stirring for a very short time, add the vegetable stock /broth.
Let it boil, and add tortellini to the pot when it looks cooked after a short time. Furthermore, spinach will be added. If you want to add cream or coconut milk, add this now.
Check the consistency and, if needed, add more stock or water. Taste the seasoning. Enjoy the bowl of warm soup.
Instant Pot Cooking?
Select the saute button on the Instant Pot. Add oil, and once it's hot, saute onion and garlic. Add carrot and zucchini and stir it for a short time. Add tomato paste /puree and saute it once more. Add veg stock and all the seasoning to the pot.
Furthermore, add tortellini to the pot. Make sure they are covered with liquid. Do not stir at this time. Cancel the saute button. Cover the lid and pressure cook for 2 minutes on high pressure. It will take another 8-10 minutes for the Instant pot to come to pressure.
Release the pressure naturally or manually. Add spinach and allow spinach to wilt before adding coconut milk or cream. Taste the seasoning and enjoy the crusty bread of your choice.
