Chilly weather makes me want to curl up in a ball and slurp some soup. How about you? Oh. You don’t slurp your soup? Just me? Yeah I don’t either. I’m a civilized human being. Anyhow, chilly weather makes me want soup. Ever since I had my friend Alli’s Creamy Tomato & Tortellini Soup I have been dying to use tortellini more in a soup. It’s my new fav. So the last time we were at Costco I picked up some of their 5-cheese tortellini and then scoured the world wide web for a delicious healthy recipe. Of course we all would love to have the creamy soups made with heavy whipping cream… but I’m trying to be good. So I made a broth based soup with an extra special secret ingredient that I was super stoked to try: Greek yogurt. Crazy right? While it’s no heavy cream it was a pretty awesome substitute that I’ll definitely use in more recipes.
I love that all of the components of this soup are so simple, and there are few ingredients. More and more I gravitate towards whatever is easy. That’s just how the world is moving. Nobody has time for anything anymore. Let alone time to devote hours on end in the kitchen. I try to get in and out and move on with my life. This soup is a great way to do that. Throw it together and in no time at all you’ve got a great meal. Don’t feel like it’s enough on its’ own? No problem. Add your favorite salad as a side. Toast up your favorite crusty bread with some garlic butter. Put it together and then you really have a great meal.
