Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup

What a tasty soup! I love tomato soup and I love tortellini, so this is a winning combo for sure. We had some french bread along with this and it was surprisingly filling! Took maybe 20 min to prepare. Must make!

2 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cans red-fat condensed tomato soup
2 tbsp sun dried tomato paste (or 1/4 c sun dried tomatoes)
2 c fat-free half-and-half
1 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt/pepper, each
9 oz pkg cheese tortellini
Parmesan cheese (optional)

In a large soup pot, saute the garlic and olive oil over medium heat until golden brown. Add all other ingredients except for tortellini and cheese. Bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add tortellini and cook according to package directions. Once tortellini are cooked, ladle soup into bowls and top with Parmesan cheese if desired.
