2 1/2 c. half & half + 1 Tbs cornstarch

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.  Add peppers and saute about 3 minutes.  Add the garlic and saute for another 2 minutes.

Add chicken broth and tomato soup.  Add Italian seasoning, onion powder, and salt and pepper.  Bring to a gentle boil.

Dissolve the cornstarch into the half & half.  Add to the soup.  Heat the soup through and allow to thicken slightly.
