Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients:

  • 4 cups (946 ml) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups (946 ml) vegetable broth

Aromatics & Seasonings:

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

Dairy & Pasta:

  • 1 cup (237 ml) heavy cream
  • 2 cups (340 grams) cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan cheese

Garnish:

  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, diced onion, minced garlic, and dried basil in the crockpot, creating a robust flavor foundation for the soup.
  2. Set crockpot to low temperature and allow ingredients to simmer and meld together for 6-7 hours, or use high temperature for a shorter 3-4 hour cooking duration.
  3. Gently fold heavy cream into the simmering liquid, ensuring smooth integration of the creamy element.
  4. Add cheese tortellini directly into the crockpot, cooking on high heat for an additional 30 minutes until pasta reaches perfect tenderness.
  5. Once tortellini is soft and soup reaches ideal consistency, prepare to plate the warm, aromatic dish.
  6. Transfer soup into serving bowls, generously sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top, and garnish with delicate, fragrant fresh basil leaves for an elegant finishing touch.

Notes

  • Boost flavor intensity by sautéing onions and garlic in olive oil before adding to crockpot for deeper, richer taste profile.
  • Make vegetarian-friendly by using plant-based tortellini and substituting vegetable broth, ensuring no compromise on deliciousness.
  • Freeze extra portions in airtight containers for up to 3 months, perfect for quick meal prep during busy weeks.
  • Control sodium levels by choosing low-sodium broth and adjusting salt content to personal dietary needs.
