Ingredients
  

2 cups cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, finely diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes

1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes with herbs

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the finely diced onion. Sauté the onion for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes soft and translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly golden.

    Add Tomatoes and Broth: Carefully pour in the crushed tomatoes and the can of diced tomatoes (along with its juices), followed by the vegetable broth. Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined.

      Season the Soup: Sprinkle in the dried oregano, dried basil, and optional red pepper flakes for a hint of spice. Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to help the flavors meld.

        Cook the Tortellini: Add the cheese tortellini to the simmering soup. Cook them according to the package instructions—typically about 3-5 minutes if using fresh tortellini and 7-9 minutes for frozen. Stir occasionally to ensure the tortellini doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.

          Make it Creamy: Once the tortellini is tender, reduce the heat to low. Gradually stir in the heavy cream and the roughly chopped fresh basil. Allow the soup to simmer gently for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally and allowing the flavors to harmonize. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.

            Serve: Ladle the creamy soup into individual bowls. Top each serving generously with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and add extra chopped basil for garnish if desired. Enjoy your delicious and comforting Tomato Basil Bliss Tortellini Soup!
