Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 28 oz canned diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 9 oz cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • to taste fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
  • to taste grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until soft and translucent.

2. Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3. Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with juices) and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.

4. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and add the cheese tortellini. Cook according to the package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes, until the tortellini are tender.

6. Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

7. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
