2. Cook Onion: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until transparent, stirring occasionally. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Once the onion is translucent, add in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), minced garlic, celery, carrots, dried basil, and savory seasoning. Stir well to combine.

4. Simmer Soup: Allow the soup to simmer over medium heat for about 25-30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

5. Add Tortellini: While the soup is simmering, prepare the tortellini according to package instructions in a separate pot. Once cooked, drain the tortellini and set aside.

6. Combine Tortellini and Soup: Once the vegetables in the soup are tender, add in the cooked tortellini and canned kernel corn. Stir gently to incorporate all the ingredients.

7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, or dried basil according to your preference.

8. Serve Hot: Ladle the hot tortellini soup into bowls. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the warmth and flavor!
