This Creamy Tomato & Tortellini Soup is the ultimate year round comfort food and is meal ready in just 30 minutes!
Do you guys remember those old Campbell's Soup commercials? The ones where no matter what was going on, there was NOTHING a big, comforting bowl of soup couldn't fix. One of my favorites featured a cold little snowman making his way indoors during a blistery winter storm. Once inside, he sits down to warm up with a bowl of Campbell's soup. With each bite, he sheds his snowman exterior to reveal a happy little boy. I feel like we can all relate to that little snowman at times! Sometimes, life can get a little cold, and crazy, and all we need is a little bowl of comfort to help us feel like ourselves again.
Today's Creamy Tomato & Tortellini Soup is just the soup to do the trick. A rich, luscious, flavorful broth paired with tender tortellini (because, pasta) make this an updated classic and easy anytime meal.
