A comforting and creamy tomato tortellini soup, perfect for a cozy meal.
Bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil in a medium saucepan.
Using low-sodium broth allows you to control the saltiness of the soup.
Add the tortellini to the boiling broth and reduce the heat to a simmer.
Stir occasionally to prevent the tortellini from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
In a separate bowl, whisk a small amount of the hot broth into the cream cheese until smooth.
This step ensures the cream cheese blends smoothly into the soup without clumping.
Stir the cream cheese mixture and tomato soup into the saucepan with the tortellini.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Heat the soup through, stirring occasionally, until it is hot and well combined.
Avoid boiling the soup to maintain its creamy texture.
Serve the soup in bowls and garnish with fresh chives.
For a touch of elegance, add a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
