It’s that time of year for fall cooking! Yesterday it was overcast and cool most of the day, and I was craving soup. In looking at what I had in my kitchen, I decided to make Tortellini Soup which I love. I never met a soup I didn’t like though. Soups are comfort food to me, and they are easy to make.
I always have white cannellini beans on hand which is a staple for Italian soups, and I use them often. Of course, it’s hard to see from the pictures that they are in the soup.
I did not have carrots in the frig, but that is something I normally would put in this soup. It tastes just as good without them, but if you had them I would definitely add them. The great thing about soups, is that you can almost throw anything in a soup, and it will taste good.
