Soup Variations

So many people love this tortellini soup and I do it in so many variations. I sometimes add spinach to it & make it with spinach & cheese tortellini. I have made it with chicken stock and used cheese tortellini.

There is another variation I use when I have a soup & sandwich night, which is perfect for a cold winter afternoon or a quick dinner when you really don't feel like cooking. This goes best with grilled cheese sandwiches.

Ingredients:

22 oz cheese tortellini

2 14.5 oz cans of your favorite tomato soup

1/2 C half & half

1 Tb basil pesto

Heat soup in large saucepan and add tortellini

Add half & half, pesto and cream

Simmer on low 5-10 minutes until flavor incorporate and tortellini is cooked
