A quick and easy one-pot creamy tomato tortellini soup pasta that is cozy, comforting, and perfect for busy weeknights. This recipe combines tangy tomato broth with cheesy tortellini and a luscious creamy finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 ounces (255 grams) fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
  • 1 can (28 ounces / 800 grams) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups (960 ml) vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (blend of basil, oregano, thyme)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Add the 28-ounce can of crushed tomatoes and 4 cups broth to the pot. Stir in dried Italian herbs and red pepper flakes if using. Bring to a gentle boil, about 5 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer the tomato broth for 10 minutes to blend flavors. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Add fresh or frozen tortellini directly into the simmering broth. Stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook uncovered for 4-6 minutes or until tortellini are tender and cooked through.
  5. Lower the heat and stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the soup turns creamy pinkish.
  6. Adjust consistency by adding more broth or cream if too thick. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Just before serving, stir in chopped fresh basil for fresh flavor and color.

Notes

Keep heat low after adding cream to avoid curdling. Stir gently to prevent tortellini from sticking. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk and use vegan cheese. For gluten-free, use gluten-free tortellini or small gluten-free pasta shapes. Reheat gently with a splash of broth or cream to loosen soup if thickened.
