Method
- In a saucepan, combine the tomato soup, diced tomatoes, and heavy cream. Stir well to mix all the ingredients together. You should see a beautiful blend of red and cream, signaling that the flavors are coming together.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, which takes about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. The aroma will begin to fill your kitchen, a sure sign that you’re on the right track.
- Once simmering, lower the heat and let the soup cook for about 20 minutes. This simmering process allows the flavors to meld beautifully. You’ll notice the soup thickening, becoming rich and luscious.
- Next, add in the frozen tortellini. Stir them into the soup and let them cook according to the package instructions, usually about 5 to 7 minutes. As they cook, they’ll absorb the flavors of the soup, becoming tender and delicious.
- When the tortellini are tender and cooked through, stir in the Parmesan cheese. This will enhance the flavor and give a creamy finish to your soup. You might want to taste at this point and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- After everything is well combined and heated through, remove the saucepan from heat. Be careful; the soup will be hot! It’s best to let it cool for a minute before serving.
- To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. This adds a beautiful splash of color and freshness that complements the creamy soup perfectly. Enjoy your comforting bowl of Tomato Tortellini Soup!
Notes
Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Just reheat gently on the stove.
You can freeze the soup for up to two months. However, it's best to freeze without the tortellini, as it may become mushy when reheated.
This soup pairs wonderfully with a side of crusty bread or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
Feel free to add in vegetables like spinach or zucchini for added nutrition and flavor.
For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream or omit it altogether if you're looking for a lower-calorie option.
