I think if I had to decide on one food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be tortellini. AH – I just love it so much…and sometimes I wonder if I have more Italian in my blood that I do.

(I have not done one of those DNA kits and pretty sure there’s very little Italian in my blood, despite what my pasta-cheese loving taste buds might say!)

Good luck not licking your bowl clean with this one!

This soup is fabulous and super easy to get going in the morning…and finish off just before dinner. Please read the directions closely and make note of when the tortellini and cream cheese are added.

Buon appetito!
