Instructions

In a medium-sized dutch oven pot over medium high-heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the minced garlic, sundried tomatoes (if using), and fresh tomatoes, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the Tuscan marry me blend, smoked paprika, and sea salt, stirring until combined. Then add the tomato paste and flour, continuing to stir until well mixed.
Slowly incorporate the chicken or vegetable stock while stirring frequently to avoid lumps, until the mixture thickens.
Add the lemon juice, heavy cream, tortellini, bay leaves (if using), and kale, stirring to combine everything. Let it simmer for 8-10 minutes until the soup thickens and the tortellini are tender.
Stir in the freshly-grated parmesan until it melts smoothly. Remove from heat.
Serve in bowls, topped with additional parmesan if desired, alongside garlic bread or a salad.

Notes

For extra flavor, try using herb roasted tomatoes.
Adjust the level of tomato paste based on your taste preference.
For a vegetarian version, skip adding chicken stock and replace with vegetable stock.
