Super Easy Tortellini Soup

 
                  
 
We love tortellini and I make a soup that my girls and I enjoy a lot.  Super easy to put together on a busy week night too. 

2 15oz. cans Italian style diced tomatoes
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 Tbs. olive oil
1 tsp. dried basil
1 pkg. frozen cheese tortellini 

In a large soup pot over medium heat sweat the onions and garlic in the olive oil, don’t burn.  Add tomatoes and two cans of water.  Add basil, stir and bring to a gentle boil.  Add tortellini to the pot and continue cooking until pasta begins to rise and float on top of the broth.  If soup is too thick at this point add one additional tomato can of water.  Salt and pepper to taste. 

I serve this with parmesan cheese to garnish and a nice salad on the side.
