It’s cold out there … even here in Dallas.

Which means that I’m staying inside, wearing my fave sweaters and cozy slippers, and making all my favorite comfort foods. Yum!

And what could be more comforting that a big bowl of tomato basil soup with cheese tortellini? Honestly, not much.

This Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup has it all: a delicious tomato-basil base that’s souper simple (ha ha … sorry!) to make and carbs. Lots of satisfying, stick to your ribs carbs in the best possible form … cheesy-filled pasta. Mmm!

I mean … don’t you just wish you could eat that picture?

There’s nothing better than a steaming bowl of soup on a cold, winter day, and this easy tomato tortellini soup recipe is my new fave. It’s so simple to make and there’s hardly any prep work needed.

Plus, with only one pot needed for this vegetarian tortellini soup recipe, clean up is a snap!

This homemade Tortellini Soup is perfect for busy nights at home (your whole family will love it), but it’s equally great for parties. Pair it with my fave garlic bread or a salad for a meal no one can resist.

Directions

So let’s talk about just how simple this tomato basil tortellini soup is to make. Grab a large dutch oven or soup pot (I love my Calphalon Dutch Oven), and let’s get started!

If you’ve never made tortellini tomato soup before, you may be surprised to learn how easy it is. You’ll start by sauteing garlic with salt and crushed red pepper flakes, just until fragrant.

Next, you’ll add crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, and a little dried basil. Simmer the soup for about five minutes to start to develop all those delish flavors.

Then, it’s time for the tortellini. Once you add the pasta, stir your tortellini soup frequently. That will help the tortellini cook evenly.

I used Buitoni Three Cheese Tortellini. Feel free to use any kind of tortellini you want though, just make sure to use the refrigerated kind (not dried). And keep in mind that different brands may take more or less time to cook.

A little heavy cream and fresh basil are the finishing touches.

Serve this Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup topped with a sprinkle of shredded Parmesan and fresh basil, then dig in!
