Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup

1 whole large Cloves Of Garlic Minced
2 Tbl Olive Oil
2 10¾ oz Cans of Condensed Tomato Soup
2 Tbl Of Sun Dried Tomato Paste
2 cups Half-and-half
2 cups Chicken Stock
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 Tbl Italian Seasoning
½ tsp Salt
½ tsp Pepper
1 whole 19 Oz Package Of Cheese Filled Tortellini
½ cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese, for garnish


Saute garlic with the olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat until golden brown. Be sure to keep an eye on it so it doesn’t get too brown or burnt. When the garlic is done, add tomato soup, tomatoes, half and half, chicken stock and spices. Bring to a simmer. Once simmering, drop tortellini into the soup. Cook according to the package directions.

The soup gets thick and delicious. Next time I think we'll add maybe come smoked sausage, or crumbled sausage. Oh! Or have a can of claw meat (crab). It's great on it's own though - so easy too. I actually didn't make this, I simply read the directions to my boyfriend, and he made the magic happen!
