Easy Parmesan Tomato Soup is a creamy and delicious soup that is ready in 30 minutes!

The weather changes so much here in Colorado. 

Last week we went from 90 degrees and sunny to 35 degrees and snowing in 24 hours. I feel like I have Mother Nature whiplash. 

Thankfully we were able to bring in all of our plants so we could keep (fingers crossed) them for another month. Anyway, with the swing in temperatures my taste buds were all over the place. One minute we went from grilling barbecue ribs to making today’s recipe – Easy Parmesan Tomato Soup. 

What’s in Classic Tomato Soup?

Tomato soup is a classic comfort food enjoyed especially when the weather cools down.  There are really only a handful ingredients:  

– Fresh or canned tomatoes, Butter, Onion, Garlic, Flour, Cream, Chicken Stock, and Fresh basil 

Now, you can certainly make classic tomato soup anytime, but like I mentioned above, I added a little bit more sass to my version. 

What’s in your Easy Parmesan Tomato Soup?

The secret is the cheese tortellini pasta. For me it adds a level of sophistication that is fun and easy to create. Spoiler alert: purchase the ready to-go pasta at the grocery store! 

Once you’ve made the base of this tomato soup stir in the pasta, Parmesan, and to get our greens in a handful of spinach. I promise you it’s delish. 

Honestly, the best part? This soup comes together quickly and is completely customizable. Use kale instead of spinach, add whatever pasta you have in the pantry, and fontina would be a delicious addition instead of Parmesan.
