Cheese Tortellini Soup

Cheese tortellini soup is what happens when Italian pasta meets American comfort food. It’s warm, creamy, filling, and emotionally supportive. One spoonful feels like a hug that smells like garlic and Parmesan.

Notes

  • This soup is rich, creamy, and comforting, basically a hug in a bowl.
  • Spinach adds nutrients without significantly changing the flavour.
  • Tortellini cooks fast, so add it near the end to avoid mushy pasta.
  • You can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream to reduce calories.
  • Tastes even better the next day after flavours blend.
