Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Yellow onion, diced
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1.5 teaspoons Dried basil

- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper. Add it to the pot and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
Return the pot to medium heat. Add the garlic and diced onion to the pot, sautéing for 3–4 minutes until fragrant and the onion is translucent.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, dried basil, and dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Stir in the heavy cream and shredded chicken. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions, typically 3–5 minutes, or until tender.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped basil and grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve hot and enjoy!
