Keying ingredients in tortellini soup
There are many ways to make a tortellini soup. A traditional Italian way of earning it is called Tortellini a brodoWhere the stuffed pasta flows in a simple broth. For our spin, we went after a tomato-basil-meeets-tortellini mood, where a creamy tomato buljong gives the background to the lovely doughy pasta. Here’s what you need for this Italian soup:
- Refrigerated Tortellini Pasta (Tortelloni): The pasta you need here is actually tortelloni: a large version of Tortellini with a full center! It is sold in the cooled and frozen section of the grocery store (avoid using dried).
- Fire toasted tomatoes is a type of can tomato cooked over an open flame before preserves. It makes the taste beautifully sweet out of the can instead of sour like many can of tomato varieties. This type of tomatoes will be pretty easy to find in grocery stores in the United States; They are sold by several brands. See in the Canded Tomatoes section. If you can’t find them, replace the canned canned tomatoes of the best quality you can find.
- Heavy cream or whole milk: This soup tastes best with heavy cream to make it creamy, but you can replace whole milk if desired. See below!
Using heavy cream vs. full milk
Our recipes are generally Mediterranean dietary recipes on the healthy side, so you often won’t see us cooking with heavy cream. But there are always exceptions and this creamy tortellini soup is one of them. Adding cream to a soup adds an intense wealth, depth and body of the soup, which just cannot be replicated with 2% milk.
As a replacement, you can use whole milk or half and half instead. Heavy cream is 36% milk fat, while half and half are 10% and full milk is 3%. So these types of dairy have significantly less fat than heavy cream. Choose what seems right for you!

Ideas for side bowl
This tortellini soup is delicious and satisfying, but not quite filled enough on your own to be a meal. We would suggest pairing it with a salad or grilled cheese to make a full meal. Here are some ideas:
Storage of residue and take forward tip
This tortellini soup is best hot from the stove! But if you have leftovers or want to make it forward we have some tips.
- Keep leftovers cooled and notes that the pasta absorbs broth. The pasta absorbs even more of the broth as you cool down so it can get very thick. It may be necessary to add a splash of water when reheating.
- Make the soup in front without tortellini. If you manage it forward, do it without tortellini and fridge. Then heat it and cook tortellini just before serving.
