Ingredients
Scale
- 9 ounces frozen cheese tortellini
- 2 cans condensed tomato soup, 10.75 ounces each
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups skim milk
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Additional Parmesan cheese for serving, optional
Instructions
- Cook the frozen cheese tortellini according to the package directions until just tender.
- Meanwhile, combine the condensed tomato soup, chicken broth, skim milk, half-and-half, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, onion powder, garlic powder, dried basil, and salt in a large stockpot.
- Place the stockpot over medium heat and stir frequently until the tomato soup blends completely into the liquids.
- Keep the soup at a gentle simmer and avoid a hard boil so the dairy remains smooth.
- Drain the cooked tortellini well and carefully add it to the hot tomato broth.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into the soup.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning only if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
- Use homemade or low-sodium chicken broth for better control over the salt level.
- Do not overcook the tortellini because it will continue to soften in the hot broth.
- Keep the soup below a hard boil to protect the creamy texture.
- For make-ahead preparation, store the cooked tortellini separately from the soup base.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
- Add a splash of chicken broth or milk when reheating if the soup becomes too thick.
