Cooler weather is teasing us here in Arizona. Some days it is in the low 70’s and the next day it is 85. All my Facebook friends are excitedly posting pictures of the first snow in their area. I don’t know that  I would want the snow, but having the ability to snuggle up with a blanket would be nice. It might not be sweater weather yet, but it’s still soup season.

Today I am sharing with you a nice hearty Tomato Tortellini Soup. It’s a great pantry meal. I usually have these ingredients on hand and the tortellini makes it a nice filling meal. The ingredient list looks long, but it actually comes together very quickly.
