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. Drain and set aside for later use.
  2. Prepare the Soup Base: In a large stock pot, combine the tomato soup, chicken broth, milk, half and half, chopped sun dried tomatoes, onion powder, garlic powder, dried basil, and salt. Stir well to blend all ingredients.
  3. Heat the Soup: Place the pot over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
  4. Add Tortellini: Reduce heat to low and carefully add the drained tortellini to the hot soup base. Stir gently ensuring even distribution throughout the soup.
  5. Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese until it melts into the soup, creating a creamy texture and rich flavor. Heat through for a few minutes without allowing it to boil.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese on top if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious cheesy tomato tortellini soup.

Notes

  • Use skim milk to keep the soup lighter but still creamy.
  • Do not let the soup boil after adding cheese to prevent curdling.
  • Sun dried tomatoes add a concentrated tomato flavor; drain excess oil if packed in oil.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
  • Extra Parmesan cheese on top adds a flavorful finishing touch.
