A rich and comforting Cheesy Tomato Tortellini Soup featuring tender cheese tortellini in a creamy tomato broth enriched with sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese, perfect for a hearty 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 skim milk
  • 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.
  2. Make the Creamy Tomato Soup Base: While the tortellini cooks, combine tomato soup, chicken broth, skim 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. Place the pot over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until hot but not boiling.
  3. Combine Tortellini and Soup: Reduce heat to low and carefully add the drained tortellini to the hot soup base. Gently stir to combine, ensuring even distribution.
  4. Add Parmesan Cheese and Finish Soup: Stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese until melted and the soup is creamy. Allow to heat through for a few minutes without boiling. Reserve extra cheese for garnish.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Ladle soup into bowls and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

  • Do not let the soup boil after adding the cheese to prevent curdling.
  • You can add extra Parmesan cheese as garnish for enhanced flavor.
  • Use skim milk to reduce fat content while maintaining creaminess with half and half.
  • Frozen tortellini must be cooked separately to ensure proper texture.
