How To Make Tomato Tortellini Soup
To make this easy tortellini soup recipe:
- Combine all of the tomato soup ingredients in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the tortellini.
- Blend the soup mixture using a hand blender.
- Stir in the cream, and simmer for another 5 minutes adding tortellini in the last minute.
How To Store This Soup
The tortellini in this soup can get soggy if you have leftovers so we leave it on the side and always combine just before serving.
If you’d like to freeze this soup, add the cream once heated and defrosted (and freeze the tortellini separately). Serve this easy recipe with 30 Minute Dinner Rolls or crusty bread for dipping and a big fresh Easy Italian Salad.

I really want to make your tomato tortellini soup! When you say “Heavy cream” do you mean whipping cream? It is 35% M.F. The only other cream I see in store is table cream that is 18% M.F. Please advise which to use. thanks so much. I LOVE all your recipes!

Hi Shari, that would work great in this recipe.
You don’t have to peel the tomatoes?
Hi Rose, this recipe uses a can of diced tomatoes so no peeling is required.
Can I substitute crushed tomatoes for the diced tomatoes? I don’t have a hand mixer to blend the soup mixture.
Hi Jessica,
I have only made this as written, but I believe this will be a fine substitution.
You’re my best new friend. You lifesaver you!♥️
Thank you :) Enjoy the soup Sally!

Affordable, quick, and tasty! The best possible combination for this awesome soup recipe!
Thank you! :)
I am pinning this recipe. This is great. It combines 2 of my kids favorite things, tomato soup and tortellini, so I know it’s something they will actually eat. And it’s quick enough for those busy activity nights. Coming up with new things to make on those super busy nights is hard.
Thank you for Pinning it Amy!
Love how you enhanced canned tomato soup with this recipe! Sounds and looks amazing! And love how easy it is to make! :)
Thank you Sherri, this is definitely easy… and delicious!
I couldn’t find fresh tortellini, can I substitute dried tortellini and if so how much would I need to cook?
Yes Cheree, you can use dry tortellini instead. In step 2 you can cook the tortellini according to the package directions, then follow recipe as directed. You would use the same amount. I hope that helps!
Easy weeknight meals are always a win.
I totally agree Jacqueline!
Nice and easy and sounds so good. Thank you.
