Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and Italian seasoning, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for about 2 minutes until darker in color.
Add the chicken stock, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, brown sugar, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine, and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, add the tortellini and cook according to the package instructions.
In a small bowl, mix the milk and cornstarch with a fork, then stir it into the soup. The soup should thicken quickly.
Reduce heat to a simmer, then add the spinach and basil, stirring until just wilted.

Notes

For an extra kick, add red pepper flakes during the cooking process.
Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
This soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for 3 days.
