Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and broth. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the soup to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to blend.
- Add the refrigerated tortellini to the simmering soup. Cook according to package directions, usually 3-5 minutes, until the tortellini float.
- Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream until fully incorporated and the soup is creamy. Do not boil after adding cream.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese on top.
Notes
- Use your preferred brand of cheese tortellini for the best results.
- For extra flavor, use high-quality crushed tomatoes.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, simmer uncovered for an extra 5 minutes before adding the cream.
- You can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream for a slightly lighter soup.
