Instructions
Heat Olive Oil
- In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat until warm.
Cook Onion and Garlic
- Add chopped onions and garlic. Cook for 3–4 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Add Tomatoes
- Stir in diced fresh tomatoes or canned tomatoes. Cook for 5–6 minutes until softened.
Add Broth and Herbs
- Pour in the broth. Add basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Simmer the Soup
- Bring soup to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
Blend Soup (Optional)
- For a smooth texture, use an immersion blender or regular blender to puree the tomato mixture.
Add Cream
- Stir in cream or milk slowly. Heat until warmed but do not boil to avoid curdling.
Cook Tortellini

Check Seasoning
- Taste the soup. Adjust salt and pepper if needed. Stir gently to combine.
Serve and Garnish
- Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh basil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh tomatoes for natural sweetness; canned works in a pinch.
- Avoid overcooking tortellini; they can become mushy.
- Add spinach or kale for extra greens and nutrients.
- Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for lighter soup.
- Top with croutons or garlic bread for a hearty meal.
