Roasted Tomato Tortellini Soup

This Roasted Tomato Tortellini Soup is an easy to prepare meal that is made with simple wholesome ingredients. It's just thing to serve in winter.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds of Grape or Cherry Tomatoes
  • about 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Sea Salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 2-3 cups Chicken or Vegetable Broth
  • 1-2 tablespoons Freshly Chopped Basil
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano
  • 10 ounces of Fresh Cheese Ravioli
  • Optional garnish: Crumbled Bacon

Instructions

  1. Heat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Slice 1 1/2 cups of the tomatoes into quarters. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Set aside. Slice all of the remaining tomatoes in half and place on a separate parchment lined baking sheet. (The reasoning behind this is that the quartered tomatoes will go into the soup, and the halved tomatoes will be puréed). Drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes and then generally top with salt and pepper. Roast for 35-45 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated from the tomatoes.
  3. Place the halved tomatoes in a blender, and purée until smooth. Then pour into a pot and heat over medium heat. Whisk in 2 cups of the broth. Once the soup base comes to a simmer, add the cheese, basil, and roasted tomato. Let return to a simmer, and taste test adding more salt and pepper if necessary.
  4. Add the tortelinni and cook until they float, this will take about 3 minutes. If the soup becomes too thick, stir in additional broth.
  5. Serve topped with fresh basil, cheese, and maybe some crumbled bacon.

Recipe Notes

The one thing to know about this soup is that if you don't eat it right away the tortellini will soak up the liquid. So when you eat any leftovers you will want to add some more broth to the soup before heating it up. Oh, and you definitely want to use fresh tortellini because they cook much faster, taste better, and absorb less liquid. My favorite brand is Rana. * You definitely want to line your baking sheet with parchment paper when you roast the tomatoes. They roast more evenly this way and don't need to be flipped.
