Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh tortellini (cheese or spinach-filled)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes

4 cups vegetable broth

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option)

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

    Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir in the dried oregano and dried basil. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes to develop flavors.

      Incorporate Tortellini: Add the fresh tortellini to the soup and cook according to package instructions, usually around 5-7 minutes, until the tortellini are tender and cooked through.

        Create Creamy Base: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine, allowing the soup to gently heat through (do not boil). Add the chopped spinach and let it wilt for a minute.

          Season to Taste: Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed. Adjust seasonings according to your preference.

            Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your creamy tomato basil tortellini soup hot!
