January is known as 'soup month'...and for good reason. Fog, rain, snow and wind have us craving some nice warm comfort food at this time of year. A zippy version of tomato tortellini soup along with some crusty homemade bread may be just the thing you need on a cold winter's day.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 4 cups tomato juice
- 1 14 oz. / 398 ml can diced tomatoes
- 10 oz. / 350 gr cheese tortellini
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup light cream
- Cook garlic in oil over medium heat until fragrant.
- Stir in broth, tomato juice and tomatoes. Bring to a boil.
- Add tortellini, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, cream and Parmesan cheese.
- Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 more minutes.
- Sprinkle each serving with additional grated Parmesan cheese.

-32? Yes, you need soup! I'd even add extra red pepper flakes for some additional heat. Stay warm!
DeleteJudy how many does this serve?
ReplyDeleteI would say it serves 4-6.
DeleteThis looks so yummy! It is summer here but I still want to make it!
ReplyDeleteLoved this soup! It reminded me a lot of the tomato basil soup that is sold at Safeway deli. The only changes that I made were, I pureed the tomatoes and I used 2 1/2 Tbsp. of dried italian seasoning (instead of the basil and oregano). Lots of great flavour! I will definately keep this in my soup repetoire! Thanks for the recipe!
