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 everything 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. Incorporate Parmesan cheese: 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 do not let it boil. Save some extra cheese for garnishing if desired.
  5. Serve: Ladle the creamy tortellini soup into bowls. Optionally, sprinkle additional shredded Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

  • Do not let the soup boil after adding the cheese to prevent curdling.
  • Use skim milk for a lighter version, or whole milk for a richer texture.
  • Sun dried tomatoes add a nice depth of flavor; you can substitute with fresh tomatoes if preferred.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
