A quick and easy soup that is perfect for a cold night. Warm up with this cozy soup filled with vegetables, chicken and tortellini all in a delicious creamy broth.
I absolutely love soup on a cold night. But sometimes soup can take forever to make, and I just don’t have time on busy weeknights to let soup simmer for an hour before dinner is done. So this chicken tortellini soup is perfect, because it is ready in about 30 minutes. Super comforting and ready fast? That is my definition of perfection!
