One Pot Minestrone Soup With Tortellini
One Pot Minestrone Soup With Tortellini
This is the perfect comfort dish. Packed full of veggies and so full of flavour! The tortellini just takes it to the next level. I use a ricotta and spinach tortellini, so find I don’t need parmesan at the end, but you be the judge.This is also a great recipe, as most items are already in your fridge, cupboard or freezer! Feel free to substitute and throw in any veggies that need to be used – leek, sweet potato, potato, cauliflower, squash, corn, spinach, silverbeet, kale and mushrooms all work well. It's also handy using frozen broccoli and green beans, as you can always have them on hand.
