I was not a fan of soup until I met my husband. To him, soup was a perfect, quick meal, but to me, it was boring. Soup never left me satisfied, so why would anyone make it for dinner? Well, it turns out, I was just eating all the wrong soups! I am so sorry to all the soups I have prematurely judged. Guess I have a little catching up to do in the soup department!

While there are tons of soups I am now excited to make, this one will be hard to beat. This Creamy Sausage Tortellini soup will turn any non-soup lover into a fan. It certainly changed my mind!

The creamy tomato and spinach broth makes a nice backdrop for the pillowy cheese tortellini and hearty sausage. One bowl makes a great meal for lunch or dinner. Leftovers will keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator or freeze for up to three months. If freezing, make as usual, let cool, then place in freezer safe container. When ready to eat, defrost in the fridge overnight, then reheat in a saucepan on the stovetop.
