Why You’ll Love It
- Ready in a flash: Less than 30 minutes and you’ve got a bowl of creamy goodness.
- Pantry-friendly: Uses common, easy-to-find ingredients you probably already have on hand—no last-minute grocery runs required.
- Cheese-tastic: Melty tortellini + Parmesan = happiness in every spoonful.
- Crowd-pleaser: Perfect for lunch, dinner, or just because “I deserve soup tonight.”
Ingredients
- 5 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini (I usually use half of a 9–10 oz package and freeze the rest for later)
- 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- Additional shredded Parmesan cheese, optional
Instructions
- Cook the tortellini according to the package directions. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven over medium heat, combine the tomato soup, chicken stock, milk, sun-dried tomatoes, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir frequently to avoid any sticky surprises on the bottom.
- Gently fold the cooked tortellini into the soup.
- Stir in shredded Parmesan and chopped basil until melted and fragrant.
- Serve hot, topped with extra Parmesan if you’re feeling fancy.
Pro Tips
- Tortellini timing: Cook just until tender—overcooked tortellini = sad mush.
- Sun-dried tomato swap: Oil-packed is best for flavor, but dry-packed works in a pinch (just soak first).
- Spice it up: Add a dash of crushed red pepper or smoked paprika for a tiny kick without stealing the show.
- For a touch more indulgence: Replace milk with half-and-half for a silky, creamy finish.
Pairing Suggestions
- Crusty bread or garlic breadsticks – perfect for mopping up every last drop of creamy soup.
- Simple side salad – adds freshness and crunch.
- Grilled cheese sandwiches – because why not double down on comfort food?
Favorite Tools Used
