Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups tortellini
- 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes

Instructions
- Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions become translucent.

- Serve and enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh basil, and serve hot for that unbeatable warmth.
Notes
For a lighter version, skip the heavy cream. You can also cook the tortellini separately to maintain texture in leftovers.
