Ingredients
Scale
2 cups Chicken Broth (swap with vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
2 cans Tomato Soup (10.75 oz each, low-sodium varieties recommended)
2 cups Milk (skim preferred; can use plant-based milk for lactose-free)
2 cups Half and Half (replace with additional milk for lighter version)
1 tsp Onion Powder (can substitute with fresh onions)
1 tsp Garlic Powder (or use minced fresh garlic)
1 tsp Dried Basil (fresh basil can also be used, increase quantity)
1/2 cup Chopped Sun-Dried Tomatoes (rehydrate in warm broth for enhanced flavor)
1/2 tsp Salt (adjust to taste)
1/2 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese (plus extra for garnish; use nutritional yeast for dairy-free)
Instructions
Boil a large pot of salted water over high heat, add the frozen cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions (3-5 minutes). Drain and set aside.
In a large stock pot, combine the tomato soup, chicken broth, milk, and half-and-half. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, onion powder, garlic powder, dried basil, and salt. Stir to combine and heat over medium until hot (5-7 minutes), not boiling.
Reduce heat to low, gently add the drained tortellini, stirring to coat. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Gradually mix in the Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
Heat through for another 2-3 minutes, stirring gently.
Serve in bowls, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese.
