With all the rain, ice, snow and just all together cold weather recently here in North Carolina, we have been enjoying a fair amount of soups and chili. There is nothing better on a cold day than a warm bowl of creamy soup, and today I'm sharing with y'all one of my favorite recipes for creamy tortellini tomato soup. It is super easy to fix and is ready in no time!

2 tbl olive oil
2 cans of condensed tomato soup

2 tbl tomato paste

2 cups half/half

2 cups chicken broth
