Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes

3 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

Salt and pepper, to taste

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

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Optional: crushed red pepper flakes, for a spicy kick

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

    Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir in the dried oregano and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

      Cook the Tortellini: Add the cheese tortellini to the pot and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes if using fresh tortellini or 7-10 minutes for frozen.

        Stir in Cream and Basil: Once the tortellini is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Slowly stir in the heavy cream and chopped fresh basil, letting it heat through without boiling. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

          Serve: Ladle the creamy soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.

            Enjoy: Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
