Ingredients
- 2 tsp olive oil plus any extra desired for drizzling
- 1 small yellow onion
- 2 carrots
- 3 cloves garlic
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning blend*
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- ¼ tsp (each) salt and pepper plus extra to taste
- 2½ cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
- 15 oz fire roasted crushed tomatoes (1 can)
- 9 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 1-2 TBSP fresh chopped basil or ½-1 tsp dried, to taste
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese to taste
Instructions
- Dice onion, peel and chop carrots, and mince garlic.
- Heat a large dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot to medium-high heat with 2 tsp olive oil.
- Sauté onion and carrots for 5 minutes to soften.
- Next add garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. If using dried basil in place of fresh, add it here. Cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
- Stir in broth, and fire roasted diced tomatoes.
- Bring to a boil, then lower heat to an active simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
- While the soup simmers, freshly grate some parmesan cheese and thinly slice fresh basil for topping the soup.
- Add tortellini and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until tender.
- Taste test and add any additional salt, pepper, and herbs desired.
- Enjoy with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese and fresh basil on top. I like to top each bowl with a little drizzle of olive oil too.
- This soup is great the first day and fantastic the next! Feel free to warm up leftover bowls the following day or prepare this soup as part of your weekly meal prep.
