20 minute soup!

So I was looking at all of these pictures of soups for WEEKS! Soups are some of my favorite things to cook/devour. So I got to pinterest-ing [ it's a real thing, don't judge me.] and I found this creamy tortellini soup. HEAVEN IN A BOWL! And it literally took me 20 minutes to make it AND the garlic bread. I changed it a little, so I'll tell you how I made it.

You'll need :
2 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cans of tomato soup
2 cups half and half
1 1/2 cups of milk
1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped
Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups frozen tortellini

GET COOKING!

Heat up olive oil in a large pot, once it's heated up toss your garlic in there. Let it get nice and brown. NOW! Add everything [except the tortellini] and bring it to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, toss in your pasta, and cook it in the soup by the directions on the package. Once it's cooked for the time it says [mine was 5 minutes] take it off of the heat, and serve it up!

I served mine with a garlic bread. I bought a french baguette [ yes, I was lazy and didn't make my own bread.] sliced it down the middle, put on my spread, and broiled it at 350 for 3 minutes.



Spread :

1 stick of butter, softened
1 clove of garlic, minced [you can use garlic powder if you're not a garlic lover.]
3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped



I didn't take any pictures during the process of cooking this beautiful creation, but I did control myself long enough to snap on before I all but inhaled it.




[Not sure why I served orange soup in a yellow bowl.. It really looks a lot better than this picture]
