Tomato Tortellini Soup
This homemade Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup recipe is my reader’s favorite Parmesan Basil Soup kicked up a notch with pillowy cheese, veggie or sausage tortellini! It’s luxuriously creamy, cozy and satisfying, loaded with fire roasted diced tomatoes, carrots, celery, onions, garlic, basil and Parmesan pureed until velvety, then studded with tender tortellini. This Creamy Tortellini Soup is pantry friendly, make ahead friendly, versatile and will have everyone coming back for seconds and thirds. Your family will love this recipe with homemade Caesar salad and buttery garlic breadsticks!

2
Melt butter in oil in a large Dutch oven/soup pot over medium-high heat. Add minced vegetables and sauté for ⏱️ 4 minutes. Sprinkle in flour and continue to cook for one minute, stirring constantly.
3
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, followed by the tomatoes, all herbs, seasonings and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Simmer uncovered for ⏱️ 25 minutes, stirring occasionally so the bottom doesn't burn.

4
Puree with an immersion blender or working in batches, transfer soup to a blender and puree until smooth, being careful to let smoke escape or it will explode (I remove the fill cap and cover with a paper towel). ***Using a blender will give you a MUCH smoother, creamier soup.***
5
Stir in the half and half and bring to a simmer. Add the tortellini and cook for ⏱️ 3-4 minutes, or as instructed on Tortellini package. Add the Parmesan a handful at a time until melted. Dig in!
