Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 package (9 ounces) cheese tortellini
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Next, add the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for 10-15 minutes, until the flavors have melded together.
Stir in the heavy cream, cheese tortellini, and dried basil. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the tortellini is cooked through.
Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, topped with shredded Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.
