Vegetarian Tortellini Soup With Spinach And Mushrooms
This tortellini soup comes together in no time so it is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is definitely soup season where I am. We have had snow on the ground several times already. Warm satisfying soups are great for Fall and Winter.
I am also a big fan of soups when trying to eat better with not a lot of time to devote to preparation.

What Type Of Tortellini To Use For Tortellini Soup
I prefer the refrigerated tortellini because it tastes fresher than the dried tortellini pasta. The dried tortellini filling has a gritty texture, in my opinion.
Spinach is my preferred tortellini filling, but, you can use your favorite.
