The past few days it has been snowing and blowing in my need of the woods. We have had the most snow yet for the season in the past two days. I don’t know what it is that makes a bowl of soup the perfect thing to have on days like these. So, I have a new one pot tomato basil tortellini soup recipe for you today.
I love me a bowl of some tomato basil soup. This one pot soup recipe is a heartier version of a tomato basil soup. It tastes like a delicious tomato basil soup. However, it includes the addition of frozen cheese tortellini and chunks of carrots.
The other great thing about this soup recipe is that it is made in one pot. So, not only do you get a delicious bowl of soup but clean up is a cinch! Only the pot and a spoon, knife, and cutting board. I think that’s all you’ll need.
