Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic, sundried tomatoes, and fresh tomatoes if using; sauté until fragrant for about 1-2 minutes.
Add the Tuscan Marry Me Blend, smoked paprika, and sea salt, stirring until combined. Incorporate the tomato paste and flour into the mixture.
Gradually add chicken or vegetable stock, stirring frequently to avoid lumps, until thickened. Mix in lemon juice, heavy cream, tortellini, optional bay leaves, and kale, stirring to combine. Let simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the soup thickens and tortellini are tender.
Stir in freshly-grated parmesan until melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and serve immediately in bowls, garnished with more parmesan if desired, and enjoy with garlic bread, crackers, or a salad.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the amount of tomato paste based on your desired taste.
For extra flavor, consider using herb roasted tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes.
The optional ingredients add depth to the soup; feel free to include or omit based on your preference.
