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. Prepare the 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 all ingredients together. Place the pot over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
  3. Add Tortellini to 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 Cheese: Stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese until it melts and incorporates 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: Ladle the creamy tortellini soup into bowls. Sprinkle with additional shredded Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting, cheesy tomato soup.

Notes

  • Adjust the salt according to your taste preference or dietary needs.
  • Use skim or low-fat milk and half and half to reduce fat content.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
  • Sun dried tomatoes add a nice tangy flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Do not let the soup boil after adding cheese to prevent curdling.
