Tortellini Vegetable Soup

It’s day 3 of my Soup Week!  So far I’ve shared a Cheddar & Ale Chicken Chowder and Turkey Meatball Noodle Soup…are you hungry for soup yet?!

Soup is such a fantastic meal during these dark and cold nights.  Soup is comfort food at it’s best, especially when you serve up a bowl with warm crusty bread and butter.  So delicious.  I love having soup simmering on the stove at dinner time, because the house smells amazing and feels so cozy.  When I have a pot going I find my family always drifts to the kitchen to find out what’s on the menu.  And when I tell them soup, they’re always excited for dinner!

I’m soup-er excited to share this Tortellini Vegetable Soup recipe with you because it’s definitely a crowd pleaser!  The broth is flavourful, the tortellini delicious and you can add any vegetables that you and your family love!  I love a recipe that can be tailored to your own tastebuds.

I used cheese tortellini for this particular batch of soup, but spinach or mushroom tortellini would be delicious too!  When I make this again I’m definitely going to try spinach tortellini…mmmm…my mouth is watering just thinking of it!  Oh, and did I mention you can have this on the table in less than an hour?  Even better!
