Italian Tortellini Soup
We’re officially in the second month of the new year …. how are those resolutions working out for you?! While I feel like we’re making progress to reach our goals in the Love Bakes Good Cakes house, I have to admit, that some days are tougher than others! While I feel like we’re making better decisions when it comes to our diet and meal planning, I know we are falling short when it comes to getting enough activity! But, we’re still working on that one! 🙂
If there’s one thing I’ve noticed, eating healthy takes a lot of time and preparation! When I write out our menu every week, I try to make better choices by choosing leaner cuts of meat, adding meals with more colorful veggies, and by limiting fats and sugars. With Progresso™, it’s easy to stay on track! They have a variety of delicious soups you can stock up on – or you can use the convenient Progresso™ Cooking Stocks to create your own delicious recipes, too! While I enjoy the Progresso™ ready-to-serve soup options for a quick weekday lunch, I prefer to make my own soup for dinner!
Making the soup
In the Love Bakes Good Cakes house, we love soup and eat it year round. It’s just so comforting, isn’t it?! As I noted with some of our resolutions for 2016, we are focusing on incorporating more veggies in our diet. I have to be honest …. kale is not a favorite with the kiddos, although they will eat it (begrudgingly, of course!). However, they love it in this Italian Tortellini Soup – maybe the fact that it’s cooked in Progresso™ Cooking Stock helps because it adds so much flavor! I love that it tastes just like homemade stock – without all the work! If you think soup needs all day to simmer for the flavors to blend, this soup makes a quick and satisfying meal – all in about 30 minutes! Progresso™ Cooking Stock cuts down on the cook time while still providing that great slow-cooked homemade taste!
