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.

Notes

You can use fresh tortellini instead of frozen; just adjust cooking time accordingly.

Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or kale for extra nutrition.

This soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
