In these cold months of winter I usually crave a warm bowl of soup or a warm plate of pasta. I find both soup and pasta to be not only comforting dishes but also quite filling. This Tuscan Tortellini and Chicken soup fills both those cravings. A warm soup with yummy cheese tortellini included. This soup is full of delicious Italian flavors and the addition of the white beans brings in some added nutritional value as well. Serve it up with a nice salad and homemade bread and you have a restaurant quality meal at home. (I added links to my favorite Italian salad and bread below)
