Easy Tomato Tortellini Soup
This tomato tortellini soup recipe requires minimal ingredients and is a favorite 30 minute meal. It’s smooth and creamy plus so easy to make with canned tomato soup, cheese tortellini and half and half.
There’s just something about a warm bowl of soup with homemade cornbread or fresh Lion House rolls on a cold day. Some other easy favorites are tomato basil soup, pasta e fagioli and chicken gnocchi soup.
Ingredient Notes
- Tomato soup (2 cans): Making creamy tomato tortellini soup with canned soup makes this so simple and quick! You will need two cans condensed soup.
- Italian seasoning: I used a homemade blend but any store bought blend works.
- Garlic powder: Adds a savory taste to the soup.
- Cheese tortellini: I used shelf stable cheese tortellini. Any refrigerated or frozen package works as well.
- S&P to taste
How to Make Tomato Tortellini Soup
- Simmer and season. Warm the tomato soup, water and half and half over medium-heat in a large pot or skillet. Next add in all of the seasonings and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
- Add tortellini and cook until tender. Then add in tortellini and simmer another 10 minutes, or until cooked and tender. If adding spinach, stir in and allow to cook for one minute.
- Add toppings and serve! Ladle into bowls and add freshly grated Parmesan cheese and basil if desired. Enjoy while warm!
Helpful Tips
- Fresh tortellini cooks faster, but frozen will work too. Just cook the frozen tortellini a little longer to get it tender.
- I use a 9 ounce package of spinach cheese tortellini. If you prefer more tortellini to soup, add a 16 ounce package. If you prefer more soup, then add in 1/2 cup more water.
- Can sub milk for half and half to lighten it up a bit.
- For an even creamier consistency, add in another 1/2 cup half and half or 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- If adding spinach, mix it in right before serving. It only needs a minute or so to wilt.

Parece que es riquísima
Thank you Sandra! I’m glad you enjoyed the soup!
My cooktop isn’t working. Crockpot option?
Hi Beth, it has not been tested but I would assume you can warm up the tomato soup and seasonings in the crockpot then add in the tortellini and cook on low for 30 -45 minutes until tortellini is al dente but cooked through. Then stir in the half and half or cream. Let us know if you try!
It worked! Soup, seasonings and water in the crock pot on low for 4 hours. Stirred and put in refrigerated tortellini for 25 minutes on low. Stirred in the half and half and some fresh spinach because I had it. High for 15 minutes to bring back up to temp. It was really great!
Thanks!
Do you use refrigerated tortellini –frozen or dry!! Does it matter?
Either can be used, enjoy!
I made this for lunch. I used whipping cream instead of half and half. Served with air fryer garlic bread. Wonderful. Hit the spot.
