I suggest using low-sodium or no-salt chicken broth in this recipe.
DO NOT add any liquid to the canned tomato soup. Just use the condensed soup straight from the can.
Add a dash of red pepper flakes for a kick.

If you don’t want chunks of tomato in the soup, process the Rotel tomatoes in a blender or food processor before adding them to the soup.
Can I make Tomato Soup on the stovetop? Yes! In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, cook ground beef over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Drain excess grease. Add taco seasoning and Rotel tomatoes to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes. Add corn, black beans, condensed tomato soup, and chicken broth and stir. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Add cream cheese and tortellini pasta. Cook until the cheese has melted and the pasta is tender.
