Ingredient Notes

• Tomato soup (2 cans): Making creamy tomato tortellini soup with canned soup makes this so simple and quick! You will need two cans condensed soup.
• Italian seasoning: I used a homemade blend but any store bought blend works.
• Garlic powder: Adds a savory taste to the soup.
• Cheese tortellini: I used shelf stable cheese tortellini. Any refrigerated or frozen package works as well.
• S&P to taste

How to Make Tomato Tortellini Soup

• 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.
• 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.
• Add toppings and serve! Ladle into bowls and add freshly grated Parmesan cheese and basil if desired. Enjoy while warm!

Helpful Tips

• Fresh tortellini cooks faster, but frozen will work too. Just 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.
