Tomato Basil Parmesan Tortellini Soup
This soup is hearty enough for cool evenings, yet light and fresh for a summer main course. It’s creamy and cheesy but won’t set you back a few inches on the waistline.

Add plenty of fresh basil for an authentic summery taste.

Canned diced tomatoes
Tomato sauce
Fresh basil
Minced garlic
Salt
Pepper
White onion
