Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
14 oz crushed tomatoes
28 oz chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
9 oz refrigerated three-cheese tortellini
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot, sautéing until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the refrigerated tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3 to 5 minutes, until tender.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, allowing the soup to warm through without boiling.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth if the pasta has absorbed too much liquid. For a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or a dairy-free cream alternative.
