Made with condensed tomato soup, heavy cream, and cheese tortellini, this Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup is a great comfort meal for any night, especially in winter.
Jump to RecipeSoups are always a great meal, they make enough for leftovers (at least in our house) and are comforting. Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup makes me think of grilled cheese but in a soup form. Ok, that sounds gross, but trust me, this is delicious!
It is a soup based with condensed tomato soup and heavy cream, with cheese tortellini in it. The cheese and tomato soup are what make me think of grilled cheese. This soup is also great because it doesn’t take too long to make, either. It doesn’t have to simmer for hours or require a lot of work.
I love cheese tortellini and almost always have some in the freezer. It’s great for nights that I need a quick dinner, and this soup fits with that notion. Fresh, homemade bread goes really well with the soup to dip in it. Of course, that makes it even more like grilled cheese then!
Eventually, I would love to find a recipe for canned tomato soup. I’ve tried a few things before with this recipe, and it doesn’t work well. So far, the canned stuff is the best for this. But I will keep trying now and then and let you know if I figure it out.
Tomato Tortellini Soup Step by Step
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 10oz cans tomato soup
- 2 tbsp sun dried tomato paste
- 2 cups half and half
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 19 oz cheese tortellini
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (shredded)
Preparation
Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Mince the garlic and add it to the warm oil. Saute for a few minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.
Add both cans of tomato soup, the tomato paste, half and half cream, chicken broth, and all of the seasonings.
Bring the soup to a simmer and stir frequently until everything is well combined. Then drop the frozen tortellini into the soup and cook until it is all floating.
Once the tortellini has finished cooking, ladle the soup into serving bowls and top with parmesan cheese.

that soup sounds and looks delicious! I wish I had it for lunch today
It’s so good! I’m going to make it again once the weather cools down here a little bit. It’s way too hot for a soup in Texas!
Yum! Tortellini is one of my favorite pastas. I have a creamy tortellini soup that I always make once the weather turns colder.
Me too! I love finding new ways to cook with it.
Although I’m not really a soup person but I must tell you got on your side here with a great recipe. I’m also not a cook… But I’m going to pass on this to my mum and she’ll be happy to prepare this for me. I’ll surely get back to you when I finally get to enjoy this soup.
Trust me, this soup is so easy! I don’t eat soup often because I live in the south and don’t like soups when it’s warm outside.
Tortellini is one of my favorite pastas!It’s so good!Yummy
Mine too! I love tortellini!!
Thanks for sharing this pasta recipe.
You’re welcome! It’s so yummy!!
This Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup sounds so delicious. Perfect to make this fall!
Yes, as soon as the weather cools off again I’ll be making a double batch so I can freeze some for later!!
I’ll take your word, ha ha it does sound a bit … But I am all in for a great tasting and super easy recipe. Will try this.
It’s so warm and perfect for once the weather starts to cool off a bit!
I am a vegetarian, I am going to try the recipe with vegetable broth. Hope it turns as good as the other one.

I think I’ve made this with vegetable broth before when we were out of chicken broth and it was just as good! Hope you like it!!
it looks delicious!
Thank you!
Mmm this is such a comfort meal! I need to make the vegetarian version of this (I’m vegetarian).
It wouldn’t take too much to make it vegetarian. I hope it works out for you and you enjoy the soup!
Grilled cheese flavoured soup sounds delicious to me 🙂 This is perfect for the kind of weather we’ve been having!
Hah, I’m glad someone doesn’t think I’m crazy for saying that! 🙂
This soup looks amazing, I must try making it! I love anything with tortellini!
Girl, me too! Tortellini is so good and this is a fun, different way to serve it.
Yum! This looks beyond good. I’m going to have to make it this week now.
I highly recommend it for the cooler months! It’s a delicious warm soup 🙂
This soup contains so many ingredients/flavors my family already loves. Thanks for the great last-minute dinner idea!
I know! I can’t believe it took me so long to put them all together for the first time 🙂
This is a combination of two perfect things. Love tortellini and love tomato soup. I will show this to my daughter but I am sure she will want me to make it.
And the more you think about it, the more it makes complete sense that they go together! I hope you and your daughter enjoy the meal together.
Wow, this looks so yummy and great for the cold weather. I can’t wait to try this! Thanks for sharing
We love having soups like this in the winter, too!
I like pasta generally and tortellini as well. But never thought of a tomato soup! Looks so delicious though and perfect for cold winter nights!
Pasta with tomato soup seemed strange at first, but it makes sense and goes so well together.
I am always curious about the creative American adaptation of Italian cuisine! Very original!
Thanks! I didn’t think about it being adapted in any way, just thought it all sounded good together 🙂
This sounds delicious! I love tomato soup – particularly at this time of year… it’s comfort food now the weather is getting colder. I’ve never tried it with tortellini in though so need to give it a try!
Oh you should definitely add it next time you make some!
Creamy anything sounds so good right now! I love a good tortellini but I have never had it in soup form!
I’ve added tortellini to soup a few times now, and it always seems to work so well!
Nothing is as comforting as hot soup on a cold day! And tortellini sounds like an amazing noodle for soup!
I couldn’t agree more! I’m so excited for cooler weather and all the soups that come with it.
I love a comforting hot soup and creamy soups are my most favourite but I have never tried with tortellini.
I’ve made a few different soups with tortellini in it now. It’s a great way to add some texture and substance to a soup.
This sounds like the perfect. It combines two of my favorite things. Tomato soup and tortellini. I will have to try this out for supper in the near future.
That was my thoughts when I put it together! It makes a great combination for soup.
Grilled cheese in tomato soup sounds perfect! I’ve always enjoyed them together and to put them together is fantastic! I’ll have to try this.
Right?! It kind of sounds funny to think of a grilled cheese soup, but other than the bread, that’s almost exactly what this is!
Yum! I was never a tomato soup fan but I bet this is fantastic with the tortellini. My kids don’t eat much soup so I bet there would be plenty of leftovers for my husband and I. Do you think this would freeze well?
I haven’t tried freezing the soup before. I’m not quite sure how it would hold up. But the leftovers are great the next day. You could probably cut the recipe in half to make less at a time, though.
Oooooo yum!!!! It just snowed here in NY today so it’s officially soup weather!! I will have to give this one a try this winter!!
We got a cold front through yesterday and the temps dropped from high of 80 to high of 50 today! I’ve never lived where it snows, it sounds way too cold for me!
