Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, finely diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free option)

1 package (9 oz) cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it turns translucent and soft. Next, stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, and dried basil. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes fragrant.

    Combine Ingredients: Pour the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth into the pot, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 10-15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

      Add Tortellini: Once the soup is simmering, add the tortellini. Follow the package instructions for cooking time; typically, it will take about 5-7 minutes for fresh tortellini or 8-10 minutes for frozen.

        Stir in Cream: Reduce the heat to low, then gently stir in the heavy cream (or coconut cream). Ensure everything is mixed thoroughly until the soup becomes creamy. Allow it to warm through for an additional 2-3 minutes without letting it boil.

          Season to Taste: Add the chopped fresh basil leaves, stirring well to integrate them into the soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste, enhancing the overall flavor with the freshness of basil.

            Serve and Garnish: Ladle the creamy tomato basil tortellini soup into warm bowls. If desired, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top, and garnish with a few extra fresh basil leaves to create a vibrant presentation.

              Enjoy Your Creation: Serve the soup warm with a side of crusty bread or a light salad for a complete and satisfying meal!
