Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 small onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices

4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon sugar (to balance acidity)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 package (9 oz) fresh or frozen cheese tortellini

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

    Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juices), vegetable or chicken broth, oregano, and sugar. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

      Cook Tortellini: Add the tortellini to the pot and cook according to package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes for fresh and about 8-10 minutes for frozen.

        Make it Creamy: Once the tortellini is tender, stir in the heavy cream and chopped basil. Allow the soup to warm through for another 2 minutes, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients.

          Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy your cozy bowl of creamy goodness!
