Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried basil

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 16 ounces cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken or vegetable broth, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Using an immersion blender or a standard blender (in batches, if necessary), carefully puree the soup until smooth.
Return the pureed soup to the pot over low heat and stir in the heavy cream and balsamic vinegar.
Meanwhile, cook the tortellini in a separate pot according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Add the cooked tortellini to the bisque and stir to combine.
Taste and adjust the seasonings, if necessary.
Serve the bisque hot, garnished with chopped fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
