Ingredients

For the Soup Base

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil provides healthy fats and flavor; substitute with any neutral oil if needed.
3 cloves garlic, minced adds an aromatic foundation for depth; no substitutions needed.
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth essential for a savory base; use low-sodium broth for a healthier option.
3 Tbsp organic all-purpose flour acts as a thickening agent for creaminess; swap with cornstarch for a gluten-free thickener.
1.5 Tbsp Tuscan Marry Me Blend a flavorful spice blend specific to this recipe; create your own if unavailable.
1 tsp sea salt enhances and balances flavors; adjust according to taste preferences.

For the Tortellini

1 package organic cheese tortellini 8 oz, the heart of the soup, offering a delightful chew; substitute with gluten-free tortellini for a gluten-free version.

For the Creamy Finish

1 cup organic heavy cream provides richness; swap for full-fat coconut milk for a vegan alternative.

For the Nutrient Boost

1 cup organic kale, chopped adds nutrition and color; spinach can be used instead for a milder taste.
3-4 mini red sweet peppers, chopped optional, infuses sweetness and color; omit if not available.
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved or whole adds freshness and juiciness; sun-dried tomatoes can be a substitute.
1-2 Tbsp organic tomato paste intensifies tomato flavor; no substitutions required.
1/2 unit juice of lemon brightens the flavor profile; use lime juice as an alternative.

For Garnish

freshly grated Parmesan cheese adds a savory finish; omit for a vegan version.

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large Dutch oven, pour in 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and place it over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to shimmer for about 1-2 minutes.
Add 3 minced garlic cloves and the optional 3-4 chopped mini red sweet peppers to the hot oil. Sauté them for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously until the garlic is fragrant and slightly golden.
Stir in 2 cups of halved cherry tomatoes, 1.5 tablespoons of Tuscan Marry Me Blend, and 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Let this cook for 3-4 minutes.
Mix in 1-2 tablespoons of organic tomato paste and 3 tablespoons of organic all-purpose flour. Stir until smooth, about 1 minute.
Gradually pour in 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth, stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cooking for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add 1 package (8 oz) of organic cheese tortellini, the juice of half a lemon, 1 cup of chopped organic kale, and 1 cup of organic heavy cream to the pot. Stir well and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. Garnish generously with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
