Ingredients:
1 14oz can crushed tomatoes
2 8 oz cans tomato sauce
~1 cup water
1 cup of cream
1 package of tortellini
12 large basil leaves
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
I put the can of crushed tomatoes through the blender first to finish breaking down the tomatoes for a smoother soup. You do you, though.
Dump in your cans of tomatoes into a medium to large sauce pan. Rinse each can with a little water and toss than into the pot, too, for a total of around 1 cup of water. Simmer on low for 30 minutes.
Add the tortellini, uncooked. They're done when they float up to the top. Tossing them straight into the soup will help thicken the soup, too.
Add in cream, stir, and heat to combine. If it's too thick for your taste, thin with a little water.
Stack up the basil leaves and gently roll them together the length of the leaves. Thinly slice across the roll to make tiny shreds of basil. Stir this into the soup.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serves 6
prep time: the time it takes to open 3 cans
cook time: ~40 minutes
