A Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup Recipe garnished with Parmesan cheese, croutons, and fresh basil. Creamy Tomato Soup loaded with Cheese Tortellini.
The cheesy tortellini and creaminess of this soup makes this a comfort food. The best part is that it doesn’t take hours. It takes less than 20 minutes. Using the can of condensed tomato soup is a convenient shortcut to this delicious soup.
The fresh basil garnish is a pure pleasure for your nose. In the recipe, you will be using dried basil. I am the type of person who holds the soup bowl in their hand and holds it right up to my face. I love breathing in the comforting aromas of this soup and letting the steam hit my face.
This creamy tomato tortellini soup is so delicious. Add the garnishes of fresh basil, shredded Parmesan cheese, and crunchy croutons and you have a mouthwatering soup that is fit for dinner. Typically I would make some sourdough grilled cheese sandwiches to go with my tomato soup. With this pot of soup, it would be too much. This soup is a meal. The recipe makes a whole pot and serves six. Six large bowls of hot creamy tomato goodness.

Refrigerate any leftovers. This soup tastes great left over. When you are ready to eat just pop it in the microwave stirring halfway through heating.
Can I cook Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup in a slow cooker?
Yes, but you will still have to boil the tortellini separately and add it to the soup at the end. Otherwise, you will have big blown-up overcooked pasta in your soup. Nobody wants that! You can have the soup ready in 17 minutes and that includes prep time. I would recommend just skipping the crockpot on this recipe.
