All I want to do in this cold weather is stay at home and eat soup! Preferably a nice filling soup that can classify as a meal. 🙂 This tortellini soup is exactly that!
I used tortellini filled with parma ham and cheese because I wanted some meat in the soup, but I think next time I will use whatever mini tortellini I can find. Arik had some problems eating the normal-sized tortellinis so I had to cut all of them into smaller chunks, which I think could be avoided when using the minis. I served the soup with some oven-roasted cauliflower on the side, which is my new favorite side dish because it is so easy and tasty too. Whether it’s cold or not wherever you are, you should definitely try out this soup…it’s so easy to make and the perfect comfort food for your little ones.
