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 package directions until tender, usually about 3-5 minutes. Drain the tortellini and set aside until ready to add to the soup.
  2. Prepare the soup base: While the tortellini cooks, combine 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 evenly.
  3. Heat the soup: Place the pot over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is hot but not boiling. This usually takes about 7 to 10 minutes. Reducing heat ensures the dairy ingredients do not curdle.
  4. Add tortellini to soup: Reduce the heat to low and carefully add the drained tortellini to the hot soup base. Gently stir to combine, making sure the tortellini is evenly distributed throughout the soup.
  5. Incorporate Parmesan cheese: Stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese until it melts fully into the soup, creating a creamy and flavorful texture. Let the soup heat through for a few more minutes on low heat, but do not let it boil to preserve the cheese consistency.
  6. Serve and garnish: Ladle the creamy tortellini soup into bowls, and if desired, sprinkle each serving with additional shredded Parmesan cheese for a delicious finishing touch. Serve hot and enjoy your comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use skim milk or half and half to adjust the richness to your preference.
  • Do not boil the soup after adding dairy to prevent curdling.
  • For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes add a tangy sweetness; if unavailable, omit or add fresh diced tomatoes.
  • Stir frequently when heating to avoid dairy settling or scorching.
