Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 1 package Frozen Cheese Tortellini Keeps its structure and provides heartiness to the soup.
  • 2 cans Tomato Soup 10.75 oz each; consider low-sodium for a lighter option.
  • 2 cups Chicken Broth Adds depth; swap for vegetable broth for a vegetarian alternative.
  • 2 cups Milk Skim preferred; whole milk or cream can be used for a richer texture.
  • 2 cups Half and Half Enhances richness; substitute with more milk or cream but adjust for consistency.
For Flavor
  • 1/2 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes Chopped; rehydrate in warm broth before adding for optimal taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Offers savory notes; can be replaced with fresh sautéed onions.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Infuses the soup with aroma; use fresh minced garlic for extra punch.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Basil Adds a lovely herbal touch; fresh basil can be used more liberally.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Balances flavors; adjust based on your broth's saltiness.
For the Finishing Touch
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Shredded, plus extra for garnish; Pecorino Romano works well too.

Equipment

  • large pot
  • stock pot

Method
 

Directions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the frozen cheese tortellini according to package instructions until tender, usually about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large stock pot, mix together the tomato soup, chicken broth, milk, half and half, sun-dried tomatoes, onion powder, garlic powder, dried basil, and salt. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
  3. Place the pot over medium heat, stirring frequently. Heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  4. Lower the heat and gently mix in the drained tortellini. Stir well to ensure the tortellini is evenly distributed throughout the soup.
  5. Stir in the Parmesan cheese gradually until it melts completely, creating a luscious and creamy texture. Heat through for a few more minutes without bringing it to a boil.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy this comforting dish while it's hot!
