Print Recipe

A cozy and comforting soup that blends rich cream with vibrant flavors of tomatoes and cheesy tortellini.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 ounces cheese tortellini
  • 28 ounces canned whole peeled tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Toss in your chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until translucent.
  2. Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic for another 1-2 minutes, being careful not to brown.
  3. Incorporate the tomatoes: Pour in the canned tomatoes and crush them with your hand. Add the broth, seasoning, and sugar, then let this simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Blend it up: (Optional) Blend the soup until creamy using an immersion blender or a regular blender.
  5. Stir in the cream: Add the heavy cream and stir until well combined.
  6. Cook the tortellini: Toss in the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Add fresh basil: Stir in the fresh basil just before serving and adjust seasoning as necessary.

Notes

For a lighter version, you can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk. Add extra veggies or proteins like shredded rotisserie chicken for variation.
