Instructions

Get a big pot and put it on the stove. Turn the heat to medium. Pour in the tomato soup, water, and half-and-half. Stir them together.

Add your favorite spices. You might like salt, pepper, garlic powder, or Italian herbs. Stir everything and let it simmer for 10 minutes.

Now it’s time for the tortellini. Add it to the pot and cook for another 10 minutes. Stir now and then so nothing sticks to the bottom.

If you want to add spinach, do it now. Just toss it in and let it cook for a minute until it wilts.

Taste your soup. If it needs more seasoning, add it now. Give it one last stir.

Your soup is ready! Grab some bowls and spoons. Pour the hot soup carefully. If you like, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Enjoy your warm, creamy tomato tortellini soup!

Tips, Tricks & Storing

Want to make this soup even yummier? Try these tips:

• Use fresh tortellini for the best texture. It cooks faster too!
• Add a pinch of sugar to balance out the tomato’s acidity.
• Sprinkle some fresh basil on top for extra flavor.

Got leftovers? No problem! Store your soup in an airtight container in the fridge. It’ll stay good for 3-4 days.

To reheat, pour the soup into a pot and warm it up on the stove. Stir often to keep the tortellini from sticking.

You can freeze this soup too! Just leave out the tortellini. When you’re ready to eat, thaw the soup and cook fresh tortellini to add in.

Want to make it creamy without cream? Try blending in some soft tofu instead. It’s a healthier option that still tastes great!

Remember to taste as you go. You might need to add more salt or spices to get it just right.
