I had a craving for soup, it is fall, after all, and I wanted something different. Now that it is winter, I’m wanting to do all those fall sorts of things. Like a corn maze, drinking pumpkin-flavoured something (with booze, please), wearing scarves and having a cold. Yes, I already got a cold for the year. I feel like I’ve met my quota now – ha! So this is probably why a good soup like this tortellini pork soup sounds heavenly. And it was quick to boot, even better when you don’t feel good.
This is a warm, delicious soup you can cook within 20 minutes. You could add some spinach if you try to bump up for veggie intake. I don’t like spinach in my soup that much, so it’s not my personal choice. But to each their own.
