Ingredients

Soup Base

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans condensed tomato soup
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 2 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Pasta

  • 1 (9 ounce) package cheese-filled tortellini

For Serving

  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil and garlic: Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the minced garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to brown the garlic to avoid bitterness.
  2. Add liquids and seasonings: Pour in the two cans of condensed tomato soup, milk, half and half, and vegetable or chicken broth. Stir in the onion powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to combine.
  3. Simmer the soup: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure all ingredients are blended.
  4. Cook the tortellini: Once the soup is simmering, add the cheese-filled tortellini. Cook according to package instructions, typically 7 to 10 minutes, until the tortellini are tender and heated through.
  5. Serve and garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve hot for a rich and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version; substitute chicken broth if preferred.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on the broth and cheese used.
  • For a thicker soup, reduce the broth quantity slightly or simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes.
  • Fresh basil or parsley can be added as garnish for extra flavor and color.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop to avoid breaking the tortellini.
