Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
1 package (9 ounces) cheese tortellini
0.75 cup heavy cream
0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Pour in crushed tomatoes and broth. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer for 5-7 minutes.
4. Add cheese tortellini and cook until they float and are tender, about 5-6 minutes.
5. Reduce heat. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until fully melted and smooth.
6. Ladle into bowls, top with more Parmesan and fresh herbs, and serve hot.
Notes
For a heartier version, add cooked Italian sausage or spinach before simmering.
If using frozen tortellini, adjust the cook time to 8–10 minutes.
