Cheese Tortellini in Light Broth

Cheese Tortellini in Light Broth

 

This Cheese Tortellini in Light Broth is an old favorite of mine from Giada’s book Everyday Italian. I’ve been fighting a cold for the last week and was craving something light, simple and easy to make. Being sick I have not been up for cooking much and I was getting tired of all the takeout Craig was bringing home, and wanted something home cooked. I then remembered this recipe, and on Easter Sunday mustered up enough energy to make it to church and then head over to my local Trader Joe’s to pick up the small list of ingredients for this soup. With just 5 ingredients you can prepare this soup when you are not feeling so great, or for a quick dinner after work, or anytime you are in need of a quick and tasty meal. Feeling better already 🙂
