Preparation

Step 1

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.

After tortellini are cooked, ladle soup into bowls and top with parmesan cheese.
