Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven, warming 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1-2 minutes.
- Sauté 3 minced garlic cloves and, if using, chopped mini red sweet peppers for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in 2 cups of cherry tomatoes, 1.5 tablespoons of Tuscan Marry Me Blend, and 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Mix in 1-2 tablespoons of organic tomato paste and 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, stirring to form a smooth paste. Cook for about 1 minute.
- Gradually pour in 4 cups of broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Add 1 package of cheese tortellini, the juice of half a lemon, 1 cup of heavy cream, and 1 cup of chopped kale. Simmer for 8-10 minutes.
- Serve in bowls and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes
Add crushed red pepper flakes for spice. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If the soup thickens while reheating, add a splash of broth or cream.
