A comforting and creamy Cheesy Tomato Tortellini Soup that combines tender tortellini pasta with a rich tomato and cream base, enhanced by garlic and melting cheese for a deliciously hearty meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Tortellini

  • 12 ounces cheese-filled tortellini

Soup Base

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Soup Base: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Simmer Tomatoes and Broth: Add crushed tomatoes and broth to the pot. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream, reducing heat to low. Let the soup simmer gently for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Cook Tortellini: Add the tortellini directly into the simmering soup. Cook according to package instructions, typically about 3-5 minutes, until tender.
  5. Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and fully incorporated, creating a creamy texture.
  6. Serve: Adjust seasoning if necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh basil or extra Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen cheese tortellini for best texture.
  • Vegetable broth can be substituted with chicken broth for added flavor.
  • For a lighter version, substitute cream with half-and-half or milk but expect a thinner soup.
  • Garlic can be roasted for a milder, sweeter taste.
  • Optional herbs like basil, oregano, or crushed red pepper flakes can enhance the flavor.
  • Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days, but tortellini may absorb some broth, so add extra broth when reheating if needed.
