Ingredients

Scale

Tortellini

  • 9 oz frozen cheese tortellini

Soup Base

  • 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

Cheese

  • 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. Drain the tortellini and set aside.
  2. Make the Creamy Tomato Soup Base: In a large stock pot, combine tomato soup, chicken broth, milk, half and half, chopped sun dried tomatoes, onion powder, garlic powder, dried basil, and salt. Stir well to blend. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until hot but not boiling.
  3. Combine Tortellini and Soup: Reduce heat to low and gently add the cooked and drained tortellini to the soup base. Stir carefully to evenly distribute the tortellini throughout the soup.
  4. Add Parmesan Cheese and Finish Soup: Stir in shredded Parmesan cheese until melted and the soup becomes creamy. Heat through for a few minutes without boiling. Reserve extra cheese for garnish if desired.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle additional shredded Parmesan cheese on top, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, cheesy tomato tortellini soup.

Notes

  • Use skim milk and half and half to keep the soup creamy but lighter in calories.
  • Sun dried tomatoes add a rich, tangy flavor; you can substitute with fresh tomatoes if preferred.
  • Do not let the soup boil after adding cheese to prevent curdling.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
  • Extra Parmesan cheese as garnish adds an appealing salty flavor boost.
