Nutritional & Dietary Information:

This soup is a well-balanced dish with a combination of carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats. The cheese tortellini provides a good source of protein and calcium, while the tomatoes contribute beneficial antioxidants like lycopene. The half-and-half and Parmesan cheese add creaminess but can be adjusted based on dietary preferences. If you prefer a lighter option, use low-fat milk instead of half-and-half, or swap out dairy for plant-based alternatives like almond or oat milk. Those looking to reduce sodium intake can opt for a low-sodium broth.
