Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Creamy Tuscan Tortellini Soup
- In a large Dutch oven, warm 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
- Add 3 minced garlic cloves and optional chopped mini red sweet peppers to the pot, sautéing until fragrant for 1-2 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Ladle the Creamy Tuscan Tortellini Soup into bowls and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes
Keep an eye on the tortellini while it simmers to avoid overcooking. For added flavor, consider using fresh herbs. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
