When my family tried this soup, they all had to have seconds, and my husband is happy any time I put it on the table. Sometimes I include cooked, crumbled bacon and serve it with mozzarella cheese. —Christina Addison, Blanchester, Ohio

Directions
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and carrots; cook and stir until crisp-tender, 5-6 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Transfer to a 6- or 7-qt. slow cooker. Add the tomatoes, broth, sugar, basil and bay leaf. Cook, covered, on low until vegetables are tender, 6-7 hours.
Stir in tortellini. Cook, covered, on high 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low; stir in cream until heated through. Discard bay leaf. Serve topped with Parmesan cheese and basil.
Freeze option: Before stirring in half-and-half, cool soup and freeze in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add half-and-half as directed.

TEST KITCHEN TIP
If you're cooking for a smaller group, make just one-third of the recipe in a small slow cooker and decrease the cooking time slightly.

My son, husband and daughter in law, loved this soup. I made cheesy garlic bread and a green salad for a cozy dinner on a very cold day. The soup is flavorful and delicious...

This was very good! Next time I will add more veggies and use a stick blender before adding the tortellini. I also used frozen and thawed before using. No fresh basil here yet; using pesto is inspired!

We greatly enjoyed this recipe. I prepared 1 cup frozen tortellini as it is more budget friendly. I didn't have fresh basil so I used a small amount of prepared pesto in each serving. I froze the other 2/3rds of the soup and will add more cooked tortellini when serving...probably with fresh basil ...See more
