Tortellini Soup
Dinner in a Flash!
I taught myself how to cook during college - after eating every flavor of Hot Pocket that was ever made. I remember sliding the hot pock out of the sleeve and thinking to myself, "enough is enough." Anyway, I was learning the basic comfort foods throughout my four years and was excited to move in with my besties after graduation so that we could all cook together and share recipes. My honorary sister, Kari, made this soup for us while living together and I have been making it consistently ever since. It is so easy and SO GOOD! I'll always think of her when I make it and I think that's why I make it when I'm not feeling so great - instant comfort! Keep reading to find out how to boil up this ridiculously easy crowd-pleasing soup.
