Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 2 cups canned or fresh tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Pasta

  • 8 ounces cheese tortellini

Instructions

  1. Prepare the soup base: In a pot, combine the chopped tomatoes, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat and allow it to cook for about 10 minutes to develop the flavors.
  2. Add cream: Stir in the heavy cream, mixing well to create a smooth, creamy consistency. Continue to simmer on low heat without boiling, for 5 minutes.
  3. Cook tortellini: Add the cheese tortellini directly into the simmering soup base. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 3 to 5 minutes, until the tortellini are tender and cooked through.
  4. Final touch and serve: Stir gently to combine all ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired. Serve hot for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh or canned tomatoes based on availability, canned tomatoes provide convenience with consistent flavor.
  • For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or milk, but the soup will be less rich.
  • Italian seasoning can be replaced or enhanced with fresh basil or oregano.
  • Cook the tortellini directly in the soup to absorb maximum flavor and save on cleanup.
  • Consider adding a handful of fresh spinach or kale for added nutrition and color.
