Quick Soup for those busy weekday nights
This tortellini soup is one of my go-to recipes. I use this easy recipe when I don’t have a ton of time to get the kids fed and out the door and I always keep these ingredients on hand. You could even add chicken for a heartier soup if you have the time. I usually don’t so I like to make it just plain and simple, no fuss. This is just so easy, even the kids can help.
Any kind of tortellini will do.
The soup is able to be frozen and leftovers make for a nice lunch the next day.
Enjoy topped with some extra Parmesan cheese or with some crusty bread…or both!
Get going! What are you waiting for?!
See you at the fields!
