Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes

4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

1 package (9 oz) refrigerated cheese tortellini

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a lighter version)

1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Combine Main Ingredients: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir in the dried oregano, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing the flavors to meld, about 10 minutes.

      Cook Tortellini: Add the tortellini to the simmering soup. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes until al dente.

        Creamy Finish: Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and chopped basil, warming the soup gently without bringing it back to a boil. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

          Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese if desired, and enjoy your warm, comforting bowl of creamy tomato basil tortellini soup!
