A comforting and creamy Cheesy Tomato Tortellini Soup combining rich tomatoes, tender tortellini pasta, and melted cheese in a smooth cream-based broth, perfect for a hearty meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 4 cups diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Pasta and Cheese

  • 9 ounces cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the soup base: Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth, bring to a simmer.
  2. Simmer the soup: Let the tomato mixture simmer gently for 15 minutes to develop flavor. Season with salt and pepper according to taste.
  3. Add cream: Stir in the heavy cream to the soup base, mixing well to create a creamy consistency. Bring back to a gentle simmer without boiling.
  4. Add tortellini: Add the cheese tortellini directly into the simmering soup. Cook according to package instructions until the tortellini are tender, usually 3-5 minutes for fresh or frozen tortellini.
  5. Melt in cheese: Reduce heat to low and add mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Stir gently until the cheese has melted completely and the soup is creamy and thickened.
  6. Serve: Ladle the hot cheesy tomato tortellini soup into bowls and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen tortellini for best results; dried tortellini will take longer to cook.
  • For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes when sautéing the garlic and onions.
  • Can be garnished with fresh basil or parsley for added freshness.
  • To make it vegetarian, ensure the broth is vegetable-based and cheeses are free from animal rennet.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid curdling the cream.
