Tomato Tortellini Soup

A warm and comforting tomato soup with tortellini is a hearty, filling soup perfect for a cold day.

I remember as a kid, I wasn’t a fan of the “tomato soup and grilled cheese” meal. I wanted the grilled cheese, of course, but couldn’t have cared less for the tomato soup. Then again, until I was in my twenties I could have literally eaten ramen noodles and spaghettio’s with meatballs every day of my life and been perfectly happy. Don’t ask me how my eating habits or palate changed so drastically, for no apparent reason, in my late twenties.

But despite my very limited desires for food way back then, I have come to really love things like tomato soup. And when you add some tortellini – because, let’s be honest, tortellini is freaking amazing stuff – then I am all over that. And, because dear hubby has to have meat with every meal, it’s easy to throw some chicken into this soup, if you so desire.

I am content with or without it, and you can make that addition at your discretion, as well.

Creamy tomato soup, cheesy tortellini, with some added parmesan and basil for garnish – now that my friends, is a cold weather meal worth writing home about.

I first made this delicious soup back in 2012. And I have been in love with it ever since. It is really such a tasty and filling soup, and the quintessential soup for cold weather. You can add chicken. You can add a grilled cheese on the side, to keep witht the whole duo thing. Or you can eat it just as it is, and love every bite of it without wishing there was something more to it.

My kiddo is a pretty good eater, if not less so than when she was younger, but one thing she will always eat – tortellini. She’s not quite to soup-eating status, but she ate the heck out of some tortellini and shredded chicken. And kept asking for “More to’tellini!” There is no denying that my kid, is a carb-loving kid. What can I say, she is my child. Carbs, chocolate, and mint. Love that kid. Even if half the time she’d rather eat fruit snacks than an actual meal.

All you need to know is that this soup is perfect for this time of year, and if anyone in your family won’t eat it and the whole family is sure to love it!!
