Blue Ribbon Recipe

Whip up this vegetable tortellini soup when you're looking to warm up on a cold day. It's a quick and easy meal idea. Cheese tortellini makes this soup super hearty. Filled with carrots, celery, onion, tomatoes, and spinach, it's loaded with fresh veggies. With Italian herbs, garlic powder, and oregano, it definitely has more of an Italian flare. Cozy and comforting!
