Ingredients
Scale
- 250 grams fresh tortellini
- 500 grams ripe tomatoes, diced
- 1 liter vegetable broth
- 1 bunch fresh basil, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- Salt, to taste

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the diced ripe tomatoes, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until they start to break down and release their juices.
- Add the vegetable broth to the pot, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Add the fresh tortellini to the simmering soup and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, until they are tender and floating.
- Stir in the chopped fresh basil, and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Allow it to cook for an additional minute to infuse the basil flavor.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, and sprinkle each serving with grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy this comforting dish warm, perfect for any occasion!
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortellini.
- If you’re vegan, replace cheese tortellini with a plant-based version and skip the Parmesan.
- Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, warm it on the stove over low heat.
- For a creamier soup, stir in a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk.
