Description
A warm and comforting bowl of Parmesan Tomato Tortellini Soup, perfect for chilly evenings, filled with rich flavors and nostalgia.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces tortellini (cheese-filled or meat-filled)
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for sautéing
Instructions
- Sauté aromatics: In a large pot, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until they’re softened and fragrant—about 3-4 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and broth: Stir in the crushed tomatoes and pour in the broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it bubble away for about 10 minutes.
- Cook the tortellini: Add the tortellini to the broth, cooking according to package instructions until al dente (usually about 3-5 minutes).
- Stir in cheese and herbs: Lower the heat, and add freshly grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and creamy. Toss in the chopped fresh basil, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve and enjoy: Ladle into bowls and finish with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan and fresh basil.
Notes
Pair with crusty bread for dipping or a side salad for a wholesome meal. Substitute tortellini for gluten-free options if necessary.
