Ingredients

Scale

For the Soup:

  • 9 oz frozen cheese tortellini
  • 2 cans (10.75 oz each) tomato soup
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups skim milk
  • 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 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 the tortellini and set aside until ready to add to the soup.
  2. Prepare Soup Base: While the tortellini cooks, combine tomato soup, chicken broth, skim 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.
  3. Heat Soup Mixture: 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 cooked tortellini to the hot soup base. Gently stir to evenly distribute the tortellini throughout the soup.
  5. Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese until it melts into the soup, creating a creamy and flavorful consistency. Heat through for a few minutes without boiling.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your creamy cheesy tomato tortellini soup.

Notes

  • Use skim milk and half and half to keep the soup creamy yet lighter.
  • Do not let the soup boil after adding cheese to avoid curdling.
  • Sun dried tomatoes add a subtle sweet and tangy flavor that elevates the soup.
  • Additional Parmesan cheese on top adds a nice finishing touch of richness and flavor.
  • The soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be gently reheated on the stovetop.
