Easy Tomato Tortellini Soup Recipe
This Tomato Tortellini Soup has been a gift on so many weeknights when I’m beat, but don’t want to order out. Still gotta eat, though! I pull together a few store-bought items like refrigerated tortellini and sundried tomato pesto, and I can get this creamy, hearty, and super comforting soup on the table in minutes.

What to Serve With Tomato Tortellini Soup
Although this warm and comforting soup can be eaten like a meal, when I have time, I do like to serve it with a Caesar salad, and either garlic bread or garlic Parmesan pull-apart bread for soaking up whatever’s left in my soup bowl.
How to Store
Store leftover tortellini soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I recommend storing the cooked tortellini and soup separately, since the pasta will continue to absorb the broth and become mushy.
