Take-out Tuesday, Tomato Tortellini Stoup
Stoup?
A termed coined by Food Network’s Rachel Ray meaning a very thick soup
Or a soup that eats like a stew
This versatile recipe uses simple ingredients
You can use a slow cooker or a dutch oven on the stove
Bacon for garnishing is optional,
but if you want to use bacon cook it first
so you have the grease to flavor the onions
Cook bacon in a skillet
If you prefer to cook it in the oven on a parchment lined baking sheet
You can then scoop off the fat to use in the skillet
Saute onions until golden then add garlic and cook 1 minute
Transfer the onions and garlic to sprayed slow cooker and add flour and seasoning
Stir to coat onions
This is what is going to magically thicken your soup as it cooks
Next add broth, tomatoes and tomato paste
Stir and cover, setting slow cooker on low
Now go do something fun for a few hours
20-30 minutes before serving stir in cream and cheese
Add tortellini
Cover and cook for 20-30 more minutes, or longer if preferred
This soup thickens more the longer it cooks,
It will be ready in 3 hours or you can let it cook longer on low if desired
Serve it up and enjoy!

Notes
I have to tell you that Super Boy was not excited
when he found out we were having soup for dinner…However,
this stoup was so thick it is almost a pasta casserole…
He ate 2 bowls!

Looks like a wonderful soup for a cold crisp Autumn day!
I love soups cooked in the crockpot and this one looks fabulous!
So easy to make, thanks Pat!
What a comforting recipe! Looks delicious! 🙂
Thanks Susan!
Oh I love soups!! This one looks so yummy. 😋
So easy to make!
Looks like wonderful stoup. We’ve been using that word since the 50’s when my Mom made up that word for her soup/stew
Ah hah, so it’s not a Rachel Ray original! Your mom deserves the credit! Thank you Sandy 🙂
Hi Jenna, I had to laugh when you said that super boy wasn’t excited about having soup for dinner! 😂🤣 And then he ate 2 bowls! 😄 Pretty cute! ❤️ I make a tortellini soup – we just had last weekend that is super easy. I use the Swanson chicken broth, fresh tortellini (or the refrigerated variety), a can of white beans, can of tomatoes and spinach. We add a little balsamic vinegar to it when we serve it. Hubby even likes this soup! 😁
Balsamic vinegar…I bet that adds a nice bright touch! Yes, Super Boy was really having a fit about the soup, almost crying! Next thing I knew he was finishing his second bowl and the world was happy again…
I’ve had a good tortollini soup but more of a chicken only base. I like the idea of the tomato — it’s so rich and red and fallish. This one might make the agenda!
thanks Jeanie, pasta makes everything better! I hope you try this easy satisfying stoup!
Soup seems so simple for dinner, and yet everyone loves it!
thank you Dorothy, I love soup for dinner after a busy day 🙂
OMG, Jenna! I have almost all these ingredients except I only have cheddar cheese. I had just bought the very same bag of tortellinis! You bet I’m trying this! Thank you. I had never heard of Stoup before, but I love the idea!!Rosie
thanks Rosie, such an easy soup to make and so satisfying!
Jenna, the tomato soup looks delicious and the recipe is going on my fall list to make. Pasta is always a win. Happy Tuesday
thanks Pam! So glad you got the comment to go through!
Yum yum yum!
thanks Mimi, this is such an easy soup!
Delicious stoup Jenna…especially served in your pretty pumpkin bowl! ♥
