Once the weather turns cold, are you immediately in the mood for a good soup recipe? This creamy tomato tortellini soup is the perfect soup to make on a cold fall or winter day.

Made with simple ingredients you likely already have in your fridge and pantry, this soup recipe is wonderfully comforting. The cheese tortellini used in this recipe is a store-bought, making it simple to make and quick for getting on the table.

The ingredients you’ll need for this tomato soup recipe:

• Canned petite diced tomatoes – these are found in almost all grocery stores. Great for soups and sauces.
• Canned tomato sauce – also found with the diced tomatoes, the sauce gives the tomatoes a great creamy texture.
• Onion – a yellow onion is sauteed and added to the tomato puree for a great complimentary texture.
• Chicken stock or broth – feel free to use a regular or low-sodium broth. This will thin out the soup and make it more brothy in nature.
• Heavy cream – best for making the soup texture ultra smooth, velvety and creamy.
• Parmesan cheese – it adds a subtle nutty flavor to the soup and also gives it a light, cheesy texture.
• Sugar – needed to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
• Spices: salt, pepper, dried oregano, dried basil, and nutmeg – great for added flavor to the soup.
• Refrigerated cheese tortellini – this is found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. Go with a simple cheese tortellini, or if you prefer, choose a tortellini with other fillings.

How do I make creamy tomato soup?

Begin by sauteing onion and garlic in a large stock pot or Dutch oven. Sautee until the onions are translucent and beginning to caramelize.

Transfer the sauteed onion and garlic to a blender and add in two cans of the diced tomatoes. Puree the tomatoes and onion until completely smooth; about 35-45 seconds on medium-high speed.

Equipment Note: Do you have an immersion blender? If so, you can puree the onions, garlic and tomatoes directly in the soup pot.

Transfer the tomato puree back to the Dutch oven you used to cook the onions. To the puree, add in the last can of diced tomatoes, the tomato sauce, chicken stock, heavy cream and the spices. Stir to incorporate.

Heat the soup over medium-low heat until it comes to a low simmer.

Adding the tortellini to the soup:

Once the soup comes to a simmer, add in the refrigerated tortellini. Cook for another 5 minutes or until it comes to a simmer. Don’t over-simmer the soup, as the tortellini will become over-cooked and mushy.

What type of tortellini is best for adding to soup?

I recommend using refrigerated cheese tortellini. If you prefer another filling, like chicken or sausage tortellini feel free to use that instead.

Some brands make a dry shelf-stable tortellini. This can also be used, however, the tortellini will need extra time to cook in the soup. Follow package directions for cook times.

Toppings and Mix-ins for creamy tomato soup with tortellini:

Here are a few ideas for topping your tomato soup:

• Additional shredded Parmesan cheese
• Shredded mozzarella cheese
• Extra diced tomatoes
• Fresh basil leaves
• Seasoned croutons
