Is there a better season than soup season?
Packed with cheesy tortellini, this weeknight soup is the perfect way to keep the winter blues at bay.
I found prepacked tortellini at my grocery near the produce and deli (though double check your freezer section if you can’t find them fresh at your store!).
You can totally make your own tortellini from scratch if you’re about that life – but over in my kitchen, we like to live on easy street!
