What’s In It?

What makes this recipe so simple is how few ingredients it calls for. You can always add in extras like baby spinach, parmesan and chopped fresh basil.

  • Tomato soup (2 cans)
  • Half and half
  • Italian seasoning
  • Garlic powder
  • Cheese tortellini
  • S&P to taste

How to Make Tomato Tortellini Soup

  1. Simmer and season. Warm the tomato soup, water and half and half over medium-heat in a large pot or skillet. Next add in all of the seasonings and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
  2. Add tortellini and cook until tender. Then add in tortellini and simmer another 10 minutes, or until cooked and tender. If adding spinach, stir in and allow to cook for one minute.
  3. Add toppings and serve! Ladle into bowls and add parmesan cheese and basil if desired. Enjoy while warm!

Helpful Tips

  • Fresh tortellini cooks faster, but frozen will work too. You may need to cook the frozen tortellini a little longer to get it tender.
  • I use a 9 ounce package of spinach cheese tortellini. If you prefer more tortellini to soup, add a 16 ounce package. If you prefer more soup, then add in 1/2 cup more water.
  • Can sub milk for half and half to lighten it up a bit.
  • For an even creamier consistency, add in another 1/2 cup half and half or 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese.
  • If adding spinach, mix it in right before serving. It only needs a minute or so to wilt.
