Tomato Tortelline Soup - with chicken!

Another pinterest find we adjusted to our tastes and it was delicious!  Bryker declared it REALLY good and claimed he's "in love with it"...I'd take that as a compliment.

• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 Tbsp olive oil (or butter or whatever)
• 1 pkg frozen cheese tortellini
• 2 cans condensed tomato soup (I did one healthy recipe and one regular)
• 2 cups chicken broth (I used 3-4 cups to make it a little less creamy)
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 pint half-and-half
• 1/2 cup tomato paste (plain, seasoned, sun-dried - whatever you like)
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 2 tsp italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup shredded parmesan
• 1 cup shredded chicken (or diced or none at all)

1. Saute garlic, don't burn
2. Add soup, milk, half-and-half, chicken stock and spices
3. Bring to a simmer
4. Drop in pasta and chicken
5. Simmer another 10-15 minutes, until pasta is done
6. Serve with shredded parmesan and garlic bread
