Italian Tortellini Soup – this easy tortellini soup is ready quickly and great for a cold night. Use packaged fresh tortellini to make it fast and delicious!
When the weather is cold, the only thing I want is a big bowl of soup and warm fresh bread. Creamy Chicken Wild Rice soup might be my all time favorite soup. And when you have bread to dip it in? Even better. Soft Bread Sticks go well with just about any soup.
My son is a huge creamy tomato soup fan, so when I was figuring out what soup to make next, I knew this tortellini soup would be a hit. I mean, what is not to love? Creamy soup with fresh tortellini in it, definite comfort food!
I am all about easy when it comes to soup and pretty much every dinner. Some soups are supposed to simmer for hours. I am more about Instant Pot Tortilla Soup. ready in 20 minutes, and I can eat. Or this 10 Minute Baked Potato Soup looks perfect. So this Italian tortellini soup follows my general rules of cooking. Fast and easy.
The key to make this soup so fast and flavorful? It starts with store bought tomato soup. Now, you can definitely go all out and make your own. But if you have a brand you love, use it! I just went with straight up Campbells, because it is my son’s favorite. So I knew the seasonings would work with what I was doing.
With soups I usually go one of 2 ways. I am usually all about the toppings and different flavors and textures to add. Or I am all about the crusty bread you serve along side, to dip in the soup. With this tomato tortellini soup, it is all about the bread. You can serve with a little Parmesan cheese on top, but I want lots of bread on the side to dip in the delicious broth.
This tortellini soup recipe is ready in about 25 minutes. So you can pick up some fresh tortellini from your grocery store at the beginning of the week and have this soup any night of the week. A great way to warm up on a cold night. This Chili Recipe would be great too.
This easy tortellini soup recipe has pesto in with the broth. It gives it all the herbs and flavor you need. So you don’t have to measure out a bunch or herbs or even try to find fresh herbs in the middle of winter. You can use whatever your favorite pesto is, or make your own – that is completely up to you!
I also almost always use skim milk to keep it a little healthier, but if you want your tortellini soup to be thick and creamy, then you can use whole milk or heavy cream. So warm up on a cold night with a comforting bowl of of this tomato tortellini soup or maybe try Beef Stroganoff Soup next time!

What a hearty, warming soup for the remaining chilly spring days! We’ve still got them here in Texas believe it or not! I could so go for a bowl of this…
Jen Laceda @ Tartine and Apron Strings says
It seems like it’s still winter here in Toronto with the freezing rain and snow we got the last 2 days. So soups are still “in” in our neck of the woods!
Tammi @ Momma's Meals says
Thanks for Co-Hosting with me Momma!! Glad you and your family were inspired to make a new soup to keep you warm on a yucky day!! It’s been fun getting to know you and your blog!! 🙂
Erin @ Texanerin Baking says
It’s cold over here, too! So I certainly don’t mind these type of recipes. 🙂
It looks great! Is it awful that I’d just pick out the tortellini? 😉
Suzanne says

Yum, yum! I think soup is definitely an all-seasons meal! 🙂
Renee @ Awesome on $20 says
This looks like a great soup for people who don’t like vegetables. I can’t wait to try it. It almost never gets below 70 degrees here, so we eat soup year round. You just have to remember winter.
Jean says
Soup is welcome in my tummy all year round and it’s still cool here in the evenings so this recipe would hit the spot with me. 🙂
Lisa {AuthenticSuburbanGourmet} says

I think my kids would love this soup too! Love that you used some help from the store, but still created a new recipe with them. 🙂
Lora @cakeduchess says

Jennifer Farley says
The best meal to curl up with and warm up!
Jennifer Blake says
My kids are very picky and don’t eat a lot of soups. I’m wondering if they’d go for this one with the fresh tortellini in it so I’m going to plan the meal and surprise them! I love the pesto ‘shortcut’. Anything that is going to make prep a little easier is good in my book.
Gerry says
Perfect for a chilly day!!
