Soup season has officially begun at our house. Soups, stews and chili keep tummies warm in this cooler weather and leave the best leftovers. This Italian Tortellini Soup is very easy to combine. The vegetables make it healthy while the sausage and tortellini add heartiness. A warm bowl of this soup made me feel much better when feeling sick this week.
