Ingredients
Scale
9 oz fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
1 can (14.5 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 cup grated fresh parmesan cheese
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add Tomatoes: Stir in the canned diced tomatoes along with their juices. Let them simmer for about five minutes to meld the flavors.
Pour in Broth: Add the vegetable broth to the pot and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for an additional five minutes.
Toss in Tortellini: Add the tortellini to the mixture and cook according to package instructions (usually around five minutes). Stir occasionally.
Finish with Cheese and Basil: Once tortellini is cooked through, stir in fresh basil leaves and grated parmesan cheese until melted into the soup.
Serve and Enjoy: Ladle soup into bowls, garnishing with extra parmesan if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.
