Simple Tortellini Soup

I love soup, don’t you? Our kids love it too. And this tortellini soup recipe could not be simpler!

This soup is great for a night when you are really short on time, but still want to fill up on something nutritious. The key to this soup is purchasing high-quality tortellini. Beyond that, the soup is a simple mix of fresh onion, garlic and spinach, diced tomatoes, chicken (or vegetable) broth, and seasonings.

I’m a fan of quick comfort food! I served this alongside my homemade World’s Best Garlic Bread with some peeled clementines to round out the meal.
