Ingredients

Scale

Tortellini

  • 9 oz frozen cheese tortellini

Soup Base

  • 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
  • 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, making sure 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, but don’t let it boil.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the creamy tortellini soup into bowls. If desired, sprinkle each serving with additional shredded Parmesan cheese for a delicious finishing touch. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

  • Do not let the soup boil after adding the cheese to prevent curdling.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes add a rich depth of flavor; soaked versions can be used for a softer texture.
  • Use skim milk or half and half to control the creaminess and caloric content.
  • Leftover soup can be refrigerated and reheated gently on the stovetop.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
