It may be June aka summer aka sunshine time but apparently that's not how it works here in the pacific northwest, or at least in my Seattle corner. It's been storming like crazy! We had a straight up hail downpour for an HOUR a couple days ago plus rain, rain, rain, and more rain. Not that I'm complaining, I love it 🤣. Not just because I'm the biggest pluviophile you'll ever meet, but also because it's perfect soup weather! Vegetable tortellini soup anyone?
It's all done in one pot and takes only 35 minutes start to finish. Easy peezy!
Also, it's vegetarian! CHOCK full o veggies: carrots, onion, celery, tomatoes, and fresh kale. Honestly though, my favorite bit is obviously the three cheese tortellini. Any excuse to eat stuffed cheese pasta amiright?
Vegetable tortellini soup recipe below!

I haven't made this yet but I did note that the instructions say add tomato paste but it is not listed in the ingredients. What size can of paste to you use?
