Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (9 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- Fresh basil, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and broth. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Once simmering, add the refrigerated tortellini. Cook according to package directions, usually 3-5 minutes, until the tortellini float and are cooked through.
- Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the soup is creamy and heated through. Do not boil after adding cream.
- Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh basil before serving.
Notes
- You can use frozen tortellini; add them directly to the simmering broth and adjust the cooking time as needed.
- For a richer flavor, substitute half the broth with dry white wine and let it reduce slightly before adding the tomatoes.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, stir in a teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with a tablespoon of water during the last few minutes of cooking.
