2 tablespoons flour

2 cups chicken broth or veggie broth
1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon (packed) brown sugar
1 cup heavy/whipping cream
1 tablespoon fresh basil chopped/torn (optional)

Directions
- Add the olive oil and butter to a soup pot over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and flour, and cook it for about a minute.
- Stir (or whisk) in the chicken broth until the flour has dissolved.
- Add the canned tomatoes, Italian seasoning, sugar, and cream to the pot. Increase the heat to high and bring it to a gentle boil.
- Once the soup is boiling, add the tortellini and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook for 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as desired. If using the fresh basil, add it in a few minutes prior to serving. Serve soup with freshly grated parmesan over top if desired.
