Creamy Tomato Basil Tortellini Soup

This Creamy Tomato Basil Tortellini Soup is made with ground chicken, veggies, aromatics, fresh basil and mint leaves, and pillowy ricotta and spinach tortellini. Everything is simmered in a velvety and rich tomato cream broth! It’s quick and easy to make in one pot, incredibly flavorful, and ultra cozy and comforting! Perfect for busy weeknights and cold weather!

Oh.My.God. You guys. I have created the most perfect and delicious winter warmer soup! And I’m crazy excited to share it with you all today! 🤗

So it turns out, my Spicy Chicken Penne Pasta was the most popular recipe on the blog in 2019. And I totally get why you guys loved it so much. I mean what can beat a FAST, easy, made with everyday ingredients, exploding with flavor, and made in ONE PAN pasta dinner!?

I was planning on making it the other night for the GAZZILIONTH time again since it’s one of my all-time favorite pasta dishes too. ❤️ But then inspiration struck me. The cold weather got to me. And I was off and on a roll!

Just like my Spicy Chicken Penne Pasta, this Creamy Tomato Basil Tortellini Soup is incredibly flavorful, speedy, easy to make, and made in one pot. It’s basically a soup form of the pasta dish, and it’s made with almost all the same pantry ingredients. (I only went out and bought the fresh tortellini and fresh herbs. The rest I always have on hand always, and I’m thinking you do too!) It’s extra hearty and filling because I threw in some diced carrots and a can of chili beans, as well as loaded up this dreamy and creamy tomato soup with pillowy, heavenly parcels off cheese – aka spinach and ricotta tortellini! 😍

This tomato basil tortellini soup is perfect for this time of the year given the cold weather that just won’t STOP, and it’s guaranteed to warm up your insides in no time. It’s also robustly flavorful and creamy (without using any heavy cream). I think you and your family are really going to love this ultra cozy and comforting weeknight soup!

So without further ado, let’s dive in and make some Creamy Tomato Basil Tortellini Soup! 🤗
