Make
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add butter and then onions and a pinch of salt to melted butter. Saute until softened, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and dried basil and saute for 1 minute more.
- Add crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, stock, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.
- Add tortellini to simmering soup and cook according to package directions. (Note: fresh tortellini will cook faster than dried, so be sure to check the recommended timing for the variety you bought.)
- When tortellini is tender, remove soup from heat and stir in vinegar (portion for soup). Season with some salt and pepper.
- Toss mixed greens with olives, tomatoes, and some of the vinaigrette. Add additional vinaigrette until salad is dressed to your liking.
- Ladle soup into bowls and top with parsley. Serve salad on the side. Enjoy!
