- Fresh Basil (1 cup, chopped)
- Garlic (4 cloves, minced)
- Onion (1 medium, diced)
- Olive Oil (2 tablespoons)

Instructions
- Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until they’re translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the Tomatoes: Add your canned diced tomatoes (juice and all) and allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, bubbling for about 5-7 minutes.
- Blend for Creaminess: Optionally, blend the mixture until creamy with an immersion blender or transfer half to a blender, blend, and return it to the pot.
- Bring on the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, stir to combine, and simmer for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Cook the Tortellini: Add the tortellini according to the package instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes.
- Finish with Basil: Fold in the fresh basil, stir well, and let sit for a minute to allow the flavors to marry.
- Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls, adding a drizzle of olive oil and some additional basil on top if desired.
