Tomato Tortellini Soup Recipe

Tomato tortellini soup is a great meatless dish for this Autumn season. I love this recipe because it’s a wonderful combination of tomato soup and pasta, two of the things my family loves most.

Tortellini soup is simple to make and is easily a favorite family recipe in our house. I like that I can make it up and eat it, or ahead of time and reheat it when we are ready to eat.   

I also like to make a meatless dish once a week that is still hearty and delicious. When I make this tomato tortellini soup I am also able to warm up from some of these cool days which is always a plus!

This is also a great recipe to make with your favorite bread for dipping. A few of my favorites to make are our sheet pan garlic breadsticks, Olive Garden breadsticks copycat recipe, and homemade pizza factory breadsticks. 

Ingredients for Tomato Tortellini Soup

How To Make Our Tomato Tortellini Soup Recipe:

When you are ready to make the tomato tortellini soup, start by making the frozen tortellini according to the directions on the packaging. 

Tomato Soup, Chicken Broth, Milk, Half and Half, Sundried tomatoes, and seasonings in stock pot

Then while those are cooking, in a large stockpot you will need to combine the tomato soup, chicken broth, milk, half and half, sun-dried tomatoes, onion powder, garlic powder, dried basil, and salt. 

Stir all of that together and turn the burner on to medium heat and heat the ingredients through, making sure to stir the soup frequently. 

Adding cooked tortellini to soup in stock pot

When the tortellini is done cooking according to the package, drain the tortellini and carefully add them to the soup.

Once you are done adding the tortellini and the soup has been completely heated, add in the Parmesan cheese and stir it all together. 

When you are ready to serve the soup, pour it into the bowls and top it off with a little extra Parmesan cheese and enjoy!

Chicken Broth From Scratch

One of my favorite things to do for chicken noodle soup and a lot of our other soup recipes is to make homemade chicken broth from scratch and use the chicken broth in later recipes. 

Making chicken broth is actually quite simple, it just takes a bit more time, but it is 100% worth it. For a good recipe to use, take a look at Taste of Home’s homemade chicken broth recipe and use it in place of canned or box chicken broth for this recipe.

    My husband makes one similar. No broth or sun dried tomato.
    He adds zucchini, squash, and ground Italian sausage.

  15. Ava says:

    This looks so good! I can't wait to try it...especially since it is practically winter. This would be a good cold-day-cozy soup! I love tomato soup in general, but this? Looks amazing :)
  16. Ava says:

    This looks so good. This would be a good soup for a cold day, especially since winter is practically here. I can't wait to try this! I love tomato soup in general, but this looks better! (Especially since it has basil. I love basil!)

    Elizabeth, did you do anything different for the crockpot version.
  19. Emma says:
    December 11, 2013
    Hi! Can you tell me how many hours and on what temp in a crockpot?
  20. Kelly says:
    December 23, 2013
    This soup was amazing!!! I added cooked Italian sausage, put it all in the crockpot on low for 4 hrs (including frozen tortellini) and it came out great!
  21. Cyd says:
    December 27, 2013
    We haven't made this in a crockpot so we are not sure the cooking time and temp. You would just have to experiment with it.
  22. Sandi says:
    January 2, 2014
    Thanks for sharing the crockpot info!!
  23. Emily says:
    March 4, 2014
    Soup was good but a little too soupy for me wish it was a little thicker. I even used half the cream because that's all I had on hand, maybe that's why. I wish I had another tomato soup on hand because probably would have added it. Taste wise very good!
  24. Michelle says:
    March 6, 2014
    Any thoughts or recomendations on freezing this?? It looks AMAZING, but way too much for just one person to eat!
  25. Cyd says:
    March 6, 2014
    You could totally cut the recipe in half. It should freeze just fine in a freezer container or freezer bag.
  26. Michelle says:
    March 7, 2014
    Any thoughts on freezing the leftovers? It's way too much for one person!
  27. jen says:

    Making a version of this today but added a few cups of spinach as well. Cant wait to try it!
  28. Erin says:
    January 7, 2015
    How could you adapt this to be made in a crock pot?
  29. Cyd says:
    January 7, 2015
    We have not made this recipe in the slow cooker. The tortellini stuffed with cheese wouldn't do well cooking for a long time in the crock pot.
  30. Tyler says:
    March 16, 2016
    Do you drain the tomatoes?
  31. Cyd says:
    March 17, 2016
    We didn't drain the 1/2 cup of tomatoes.
  32. Melynda says:
    March 19, 2016
    Are we sure it only needs 9oz of tortellini? Didnt seem like enough when I made the soup. Yummy was even better as left overs.
  33. Cyd says:
    March 21, 2016
    We added 9 ounces, but feel free to add more!
  34. Diedre says:
    April 26, 2021
    I doubled the tortellini. This is a great recipe. We’ve had it several times.

    5 stars

  35. Momma Cyd says:
    April 27, 2021
    We are so glad you like it. It's one of our favorite soups!
  36. Carlie says:
    October 26, 2021
    Could you use heavy cream instead of half and half just asking cause that’s all I have at the moment
  37. Momma Cyd says:
    October 26, 2021
    You can totally make your own half and half. If you have heavy cream in your fridge, for 1 cup half-and-half, substitute 3/4 cup milk plus 1/4 cup heavy cream. If your household is more of a low-fat milk kind of place, adjust the ratio to account for the missing fat: 2/3 cup low-fat milk plus 1/3 cup heavy cream.
  38. D. Brown says:
    November 1, 2021
    That sounds amazing!
  39. Lisa Yaskiw says:
    November 21, 2021
    Do you use sundried tomatoes packed in oil or regular sundried tomatoes?
  40. Erica says:
    November 27, 2021
    Delicious!! Even my kids loved this!! Making for the 2nd time. Hubby says, “Oooh, you’re making THAT soup!!” 😍

    5 stars

  41. Momma Cyd says:
    November 29, 2021
    So glad they liked the soup! It's so yummy!
  42. Melanie says:
    January 22, 2022
    What kind of tomato soup do you use?
  43. Kendra says:
    January 23, 2022
    Can leftovers be frozen?
  44. Momma Cyd says:
    January 24, 2022
    It should freeze fine in a freezer container.
  45. Momma Cyd says:
    January 24, 2022
    We use Campbell's tomato soup.
  46. Tara says:

    This was sooo delicious. Even those who aren’t soup people in my family were happy.

    5 stars

    This was a family hit and came together in 10-15 mins easy! A couple edits: I doubled the tortellini and just cooked them in the soup (from frozen) so there is no extra pan to clean up. I also added half a bag of spinach. It was still a little too much broth but overall really delicious and SO EASY. My kids loved it too. I might try adding some sausage in next time to make it a little more filling.
