Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes

4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon sugar (to balance acidity)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 (9 oz) package fresh cheese tortellini

1 cup heavy cream

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

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 translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

    Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable or chicken broth. Stir in the dried oregano, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

      Cook Tortellini: Once the soup is simmering, add the fresh tortellini and cook according to package instructions, usually around 4-5 minutes, until they float to the top and are al dente.

        Stir in Cream: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and chopped basil. Allow the soup to warm through for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring it doesn't boil to keep the cream from curdling.

          Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional basil and a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

            Enjoy: Serve the soup warm with crusty bread or a fresh garden salad for a delightful meal!
