Tomato Tortellini Soup
This is my favorite time of year to be in the kitchen. With the cooler weather, I find myself craving some good home cooking. My kids and husband are not complaining…and neither am I. I am working on creating our personal Recipe Book and want to add photos and recipes of our favorite Recipes…so I am working through the recipes and adding them slowly to our book so that someday I can make copies of it to send off with the kids when they are old enough to move out on their own. And believe it or not, it is coming way faster now than I ever imagined possible. It is kind of scary to think about…I want my kids to miss home cooked recipes so they will want to come back home :).
Today I am sharing another one of our favorite Fall Soup Recipes…Tomato Basil Soup. You can make this as a stand alone Tomato Basil Soup because it is delicious on it’s own. When I have Tortellini on hand (which I usually buy from Costco) I like to cook it according to the instructions on the bag, and then throw it into the Tomato Soup. Everyone is a fan at our house.

This looks absolutely delicious. I have yet to find the perfect tomato bisque-type soup. I’m thinking this might be the one. Definitely bookmarked and will be cooking it this week or next, and I never say that on blogs! Holy, yum.
I hope you love it and it becomes “THE” recipe! xo
What a superb recipe! It looks so delicious!!
I would love if you came and linked up at the Bewitchin’ Projects Block Party: http://creativepinkbutterfly.com/bewitchin-projects-block-party-13/
Thank you Trine!
YUMMMMM!
Thank you friend! xo
Thanks for the recipe I have it on the stove now
It is 4:30 a.m and I just found you and this soup recipe. I want to run out to the store and get all the ingredients right away. It looks and sounds amazing! I cannot wait to try it. I am sure I will be making this over and over again. Thank you!
Can you tell me why the tortellini cannot be cooked in the soup? One pot would make this an even better recipe, but I don’t know if cooking separately makes a difference.
Julie- I have done it both ways. I have made this in the slow cooker and added in the frozen tortellini. It worked great. If you want to make sure that the tortellini is fully cooked, you can cook it separately. Thank you and enjoy!
