This was a perfect weekday comfort food meal. Who doesn't love any reason to have grilled cheese, ok maybe that's me.
1 diced yellow onion
2 Tbsp olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28 oz) cans whole Roma tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste
1 (32 oz) carton chicken broth
1/3 cup chopped basil
2 bay leaves
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
16 oz refrigerated three cheese tortellini
3/4 cup heavy cream
Parmesan, shaved for serving
In a large stockpot add the oil and saute garlic and onion on medium until soft. About 5 min.
Add in the seasonings, basil, tomatoes, paste, and chicken broth. Simmer covered on med/low for 20 min.
Remove the bay leaves and we either place in blender (careful hot steam) or use an immersion blender which I used. Blend until smooth.
Add in cream and bring to low boil, add tortellini and cover. Cook about 10 min stirring occasionally until tortellini cooked through.
Serve topped with parmesan and on the side of a yummy grilled cheese.
