Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 5 cloves Garlic
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 carrot
- 1 Tin Chopped tomatoes
- Handful Cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 100 ml double cream
- 40 grams fresh grated parmesan cheese
- 1 courgette (zucchini)
- 250 grams cheese tortellini (store bought)
- 300 ml Veggie stock (or chicken stock)
- handful fresh basil
Instructions
- Dice the onion, celery, carrot, tomatoes, courgette, and garlic.Heat a little oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables and Italian herbs, then sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Stir in the tinned tomatoes and stock. Mix well, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook on low heat for around 10 minutes to allow the flavours to develop.
- Add the cream, Parmesan, and tortellini. Stir well and cook according to the packet instructions for the tortellini.
- Stir through the fresh basil just before serving.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, mix 1 tablespoon cornflour with 1 tablespoon water to form a slurry. Stir into the soup and cook for a few minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
Notes
- Use your favourite fresh or frozen cheese tortellini for this recipe.
- For a lighter soup, substitute the cream with half-fat crème fraîche or additional stock.
- Add a handful of spinach or kale during the last few minutes of cooking for extra vegetables.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more stock for a thinner soup or use the cornflour slurry for a thicker, creamier texture.
- Garnish with extra Parmesan and fresh basil for the best flavour.
