Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup
Description
Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup starts by sautéing onions and garlic in olive oil, then simmering diced tomatoes and vegetable broth with bay leaves, red pepper flakes, and fresh basil. After simmering, the soup is blended until smooth and brightened with Greek yogurt, which adds creaminess without heavy cream. Cheese tortellini are then cooked directly in the soup until tender, infusing the broth with their mild cheese flavor.
The texture is creamy yet light, with the soft tortellini providing a satisfying chew. The soup carries a gentle herbal warmth from basil and a subtle kick from crushed red pepper flakes, balanced by the tang of tomatoes and the mild richness of yogurt.
Serve this soup warm on its own or with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan and fresh basil if available. It makes a simple, filling meal especially on cooler days.
