This hearty Italian Tortellini Soup makes a quick and delicious meatless meal for a busy weeknight.
I love that I can have this meal on the table in 20 minutes, and the pasta and vegetables make very filling.
My daughters are not big fans of tomatoes, so I wanted to make a tortellini soup that wasn’t tomato based. I added cherry tomatoes at the end of the cooking time to add tomato flavor without having the tomatoes cook down like a sauce. This worked well and my girls even had seconds of the soup!
