Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp Mutti Organic Tomato Paste
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 2 cans Mutti Baby Roma Tomatoes
- 1 package Pagani Cheese & Tomato Tortellini
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sliced basil
- 1/4 cup parmesan, grated
- Essential Baking French Baguette, toasted
Directions
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add onions and carrot, and cook until softened, about 4–5 minutes. Add garlic and Italian seasoning, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 2
Stir in tomato paste until the vegetables are covered. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
Step 3
Pour broth into pot while stirring to break up any clumps. Add canned tomatoes with all juices. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 5–6 minutes uncovered.
Step 4
Remove pot from heat source. Blend soup using an immersion blender until smooth. Add more broth, if needed. You may use a standing blender to purée the soup and then return it back to the pot.
Step 5
Bring soup back to a boil and add in tortellini. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 14 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in heavy cream. Stir for 1–2 minutes until well combined. Top with basil and parmesan cheese. Serve with toasted baguette.
