4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 packet (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese tortellini

1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper, to taste

Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions
 

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes or until translucent.

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

          Stir in the tortellini, and let the soup simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the tortellini is tender.

            Lower the heat and gradually add the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow the soup to heat through, but do not let it boil.

              Remove the pot from heat and stir in the chopped basil leaves.
