Tomato Tortellini Soup Recipe

Reviewed on May. 01, 2013 by mother of 3

I used Trader Joe's vegetable broth which gave it a weird flavor I think. So next time I'd use chicken broth. I skipped tomatoes & used 1/4 cup half and half with nearly 8 oz. cream, & added 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt. Also used Campbell's 100% natural tomato with basil soup. No corn syrup for us!

The flavor was good, but it was way too thin for our liking. I do think doubling the tortellini as other reviewers said would help, but I won't be making it again.

My family loved this soup!! I did change a couple things, as I read the reviews and some made sense, for my family. I used diced tomatos instead of sun dried. I bought a larger package of tortellini.I used chicken broth and added some cooked chicken that I had leftovers. I aslo sauteed garlic and onions, but followed everyhthing else- result: great soup. Definitely a keeper.

This soup was wonderful. I think I would only change one thing, and that would be to blend the ingredients together with a hand blender before I add the tortellini. But it tasted wonderful and I can't wait to eat the leftovers!

Hubby and I liked it, kids wouldn't even try it. They are so picky. I chopped the sun dried tomatoes in my quick chopper and I think that worked great.

Delicious overall and the broth is to die for. I substituted canned diced tomatoes for the sun-dried and used a bag of frozen tortellini instead of smaller refrigerated package to give it some additional heft. Served with sliced Italian bread. Will be adding this to my recipe rotation.

Some great modifications if you're interested in making this a little more hearty.

I used 20 oz. of cheese tortellini and cooked and diced 2 chicken breasts (1lb) seasoned with Mrs. Dash. Instead of 2 cups ½ and ½, I used 1 C heavy whipping cream, 4 oz. lite sour cream, and 4 oz. ricotta cheese. Instead of garlic and onion powder, I sautéed ½ white onion and 3 cloves of minced garlic in EVOO. I also added 2 chopped fresh tomatoes and sautéed mushrooms as garnish (sautéed in same pan as onion and garlic). I didn't add any salt but added plenty of fresh ground pepper. Didn't need the PARM cheese with the ricotta. Lastly, I used lots of chopped fresh basil and basil leaves as garnish.

Enjoy!

Made this for our annual fund-raiser and it was a hit. I gave it 4 stars since I made a couple of changes per previous reviews. I used chicken broth instea of vegetable and 2/3 cup of diced tomatoes. Served it out of a slow cooker and brought only 1 bowl home so I could eat some! Very popular and some people went back for seconds. Will definitely make this again.

I made this soup for an annual soup party my friend hosts and I won first prize! My additions to the recipe were a pound of mild Italian sausage, a can of Tomato Bisque and a half package of frozen spinach. I also used fire-roasted diced tomatoes instead of sun-dried and a 19 oz. bag of tortellini. It was a huge hit and everyone loved it! I will definitely be making this again.

This was great! There are only 2 of us so I split the liquid in half, and added a can of white kidney beans for some protein. I also used Tomato Bisque soup and fresh tomatoes instead of sun-dried. Wonderful meal and I will make it again. Thanks for the recipe!

Just made this following the directions and proportions as specified, only using fresh basil instead of dried. I thought it needed more tomato soup. I also didn't care much for the texture of the sun-dried tomatoes even though I chopped them really fine. I will make again without the sun-dried tomatoes and with twice the tomato soup.

I made this yesterday for the first time, and both my husband and I loved it! Next time I will probably try using extra tortellini, but the soup itself is outstanding, even without the tortellini. Great recipe and one I will be keeping for years!

I would have given it 2 stars because this did not impress me at all. I felt there was way too much milk/cream and I didn't use as much as the recipe calls for. The tomato soup-iness of it clashed with the tortellini. I would suggest using less milk and a different pasta like macaroni or something without filling.

I gave it a 3 because it went over well with my sister and her husband. She loved it and demanded the recipe--one because she thought it was delicious and two because it was quick and easy to make. She, too, recommended less milk/cream.

This soup is so quick and delicious! I picked up Light Cream instead of Half and half so used that. Also....put in FRESH basil because I'm not a fan of dried spices. AWESOME!  I would in the future double the tortellini because it does make alot of liquid.

I used twice the tortellini called for and it was still way too much liquid. It also did not have much flavor. It could possibly be saved by halving the liquid and adding a whopping spoon of pesto, but I won't make it again.

I made this soup last night for company. It is very easy to do and the taste is absolutely beautiful and velvety. I made a double batch which was super easy to do. My company raved about it again and again. I followed the recipe as is to give it a shot. It's very good as is, but I think I might increase the seasonings just a little as I tend to like a little more boost. I plan to add this recipe to my specials book as it is so wonderful. Paired it up with small sub sandwiches, a chocolate raspberry petite cake and a great bottle of Cabernet Shiraz(not heavy at all. the flavors all complemented well). Wow it was a supreme hit.
