Tortellini Soup

Hey y'all! It is officially Friday and thank god for that because I have been on the go, go, go this week and I am ready to watch some hockey this weekend and spend some time with friends and really just get ready for my week. This coming up week is busy with school but also because I have lots of birthday meals happening and then of course I head out of town at the end of the week! What are y'alls plans for this weekend? Doing anything fun?

So I have not shared a recipe with y'all in a little while but I thought this would be a great one to share! My mom has been making this soup for years for my sister and I and we LOVE IT! It is the perfect soup for a cold and rainy day or just a cold day, and it is super easy to make. Hope y'all enjoy!
