Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Creamy Tuscan Tortellini Soup
  1. In a large Dutch oven, warm 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and optional chopped mini red sweet peppers to the pot, sautéing until fragrant for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Stir in 2 cups of halved cherry tomatoes, 1.5 tablespoons of Tuscan Marry Me Blend, and 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Cook until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add 1-2 tablespoons of organic tomato paste and 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Stir until smooth and the mixture is well incorporated, cooking for about 1 minute.
  5. Gradually pour in 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth, stirring constantly. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and cook until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Stir in 8 ounces of organic cheese tortellini, 1 cup of chopped kale, 1 cup of heavy cream, and the juice of half a lemon. Simmer gently for 8-10 minutes.
  7. Ladle the Creamy Tuscan Tortellini Soup into bowls and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
