  5. Add the cream and bring to a boil. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Add the tortellini and cook according to the package instructions (mine said to add the tortellini to a boiling soup and simmer for 2 minutes).
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped basil leaves.
  8. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you will use crushed tomatoes instead of tomato passata you need to puree the soup before adding the tortellini.
  • If your tomatos are rather sour you can add 1/2-1 ts of sugar to the soup.
  • You can add 1 ts of dried basil instead of fresh (add it with the Italian seasoning), but the soup tastes better with fresh basil.
  • You can use different kinds of tortellini with this soup: 3-cheese, spinach ricotta, parma ham, Italian sausage. You can also add frozen tortellini.
  • Calories = 1 serving (1/4 of the recipe). This is only an estimate!
