The easiest, most comforting and hearty soup ever. All you need is 5 min prep. SO EASY!
I know Fall is right around the corner but it’s hitting close to 90 degrees F out here in Southern California as I am still walking around in shorts and flip flops. Although I walk around in flip flops all year long. Even so, I still needed a very big pot of soup.
But not just any pot of soup. I needed tortellini, my absolute favorite pasta of all. After all, how can you resist itty bitty pieces of pasta stuffed with three different kinds of cheeses?
That being said, I can have tortellini all day, everyday, especially in this soup. And that’s exactly what we did. With just 5 min prep, we whipped this up several times this week and devoured every last bit. Best of all this makes enough to feed an army, and the leftovers save very well!
