  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Soup Base

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, petite diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried sage
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 (28 oz.) cans crushed tomatoes
  • 2.5 cups vegetable broth
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Fresh cracked pepper, to taste

Pasta & Finishings

  • 20 oz. refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup basil pesto
  • Grated Parmesan, for garnish
  • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil: Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat to prepare for sautéing the aromatics.
  2. Sauté Onions: Add the petite diced onion to the pot with a pinch of salt and pepper and sauté, stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes until the onions are softened and translucent.
  3. Add Garlic and Herbs: Stir in the minced garlic, dried sage, oregano, and thyme, cooking for an additional minute to release their fragrance.
  4. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the sugar, crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, refrigerated tortellini, and basil pesto; season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir everything well to combine.
  5. Simmer the Soup: Increase the heat to medium-high, cover the pot, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  6. Cook Tortellini: Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer, covered, for 6-8 minutes or until the tortellini is cooked al dente.
  7. Finish with Cream: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the heavy cream, gently combining to create a creamy texture.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use refrigerated cheese tortellini for the best texture and cooking time.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to taste preferences.
  • The soup can be made vegetarian by using vegetable broth.
  • For a thicker soup, reduce the broth slightly before adding tortellini.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
