A rich and creamy Cheesy Tomato Tortellini Soup combining tender cheese tortellini with a flavorful tomato-based broth enhanced by sun-dried tomatoes, aromatic herbs, and a generous amount of Parmesan cheese for a comforting and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Soup:

  • 9 oz frozen cheese tortellini
  • 2 cans (10.75 oz each) tomato soup
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups milk (skim preferred)
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 1/2 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For Serving:

  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (plus extra for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Tortellini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the frozen cheese tortellini and cook according to the package directions until tender. Once cooked, drain the tortellini and set aside until ready to add to the soup.
  2. Make the Creamy Tomato Soup Base: While the tortellini cooks, combine the tomato soup, chicken broth, milk, half and half, chopped sun dried tomatoes, onion powder, garlic powder, dried basil, and salt in a large stock pot. Stir well to blend everything together. Place the pot over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
  3. Combine Tortellini and Soup: Reduce the heat to low and carefully add the drained cooked tortellini to the hot soup base. Gently stir to combine, ensuring the tortellini is evenly distributed throughout the soup.
  4. Add Parmesan Cheese and Finish Soup: Stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese until it melts into the soup, making it creamy and flavorful. Allow the soup to heat through for a few minutes without boiling. Save some extra cheese for garnish if desired.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the creamy tortellini soup into bowls. Sprinkle with additional shredded Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

  • Do not let the soup boil after adding Parmesan to avoid curdling the dairy.
  • Use skim milk to reduce fat but half and half keeps the soup creamy.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes add a burst of concentrated tomato flavor; rehydrate if they are dry.
  • Adjust salt to taste, especially if using salted chicken broth.
  • This soup reheats well but may thicken; add a splash of broth or milk when reheating.
