- 1 can (28 ounces) Canned San Marzano Tomatoes
- ½ cup Heavy Cream
- Fresh Basil
- 2–3 cloves Garlic
- 1 Onion
- 4 cups Vegetable or Chicken Broth
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
Instructions
- Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add one finely chopped onion and sauté until it’s translucent, about 5 minutes.

- Melt in Those Tomatoes: Pour in a can (28 ounces) of crushed San Marzano tomatoes along with their juices. Stir together and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Add the Broth: Pour in 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for another 10-15 minutes.
- Blend It Up (Optional): Use an immersion blender to purée the tomato mixture for a smoother soup, if desired.
- Stir in the Cream: Reduce heat to low and stir in ½ cup of heavy cream.
- Cook the Tortellini: Add the tortellini and cook according to package directions, usually around 2-4 minutes.
- Season to Taste: Season with salt and pepper.
- Finish with Fresh Basil: Stir in torn fresh basil leaves just before serving.
