What can we say? This Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup is at the top of our new favorite soup recipe! SO comforting and cozy, you won’t be able to stop eating it.

You can use any flavor tortellini that you like, we opted for chicken for this soup recipe but you can use plain cheese, beef, spinach or more! Opt for the fresh pasta that you find in the refrigerated section instead of the frozen version. It cooks more quickly in the soup and doesn’t water the soup down.

How Do You Make This Creamy Tomato Soup?

Start by cooking some onions and garlic in a soup pot or dutch oven. Stir in tomato paste, then pour in chicken broth, diced tomatoes and a jar of your favorite store bought marinara sauce.

You can also use an equal amount of crushed tomatoes, or homemade marinara sauce if you like too. Bring that to a simmer for 15 minutes, uncovered and then grab a whole bunch of fresh spinach.

A whole, 5 ounce container goes into this Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup, it wilts down a LOT, so don’t worry. If you need to swap out frozen spinach just make sure that you defrost it first and squeeze out all the water before adding to the soup.
