Tomato and Cheese Tortellini Soup

I know I have been doing a lot of soups lately but I just love them in the winter months. They warm the soul after a long cold day. And an added bonus about soups, they are so easy to make and so hard to screw up! I made this a couple weeks ago for Husband and a couple of friends and they all went back for seconds. I call that a win.

Ingredients:

• 1 (9oz.) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  
• 2 (10oz.) cans condensed tomato soup (do not dilute) 
• 2 c. vegetable broth
• 2 c. milk (I used 1% but really I think you should go by how thick you want your soup to be)
• 2 c. half and half
• 1/2 c. chopped sun dried tomatoes (the kind in a jar with olive oil)
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 1 tsp. garlic powder 
• 1 tsp. dried basil
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 c. parmesan cheese (plus a little more for garnish)

How To Cook It:

• cook the tortellini according to package instructions, set aside
• in a large pot, combine soup, broth, milk, half and half, tomatoes, and spices
• heat ingredients through, the soup will thicken slightly, stir frequently
• drain the tortellini and add it and the cheese to the soup
• heat through
• serve with sprinkled parmesan on top
