Cheese Tortellini and Beef Soup
I was born and raised in Northern Ontario, but I have to say that even after all these years, I’m still not fond of winter. Which is a little crazy, considering we often have snow from October until May. There is one thing I love about winter though and that is making SOUP. You can find a pot of soup simmering in my kitchen, at least once a week, during the winter months. There is just something about a nice hearty bowl of soup, that makes the never ending snow seem less daunting. And what better way to warm up after an hour of shoveling, or sledding with the kids, than with a bowl of steaming comfort.
This hearty Cheese Tortellini and Beef soup is jam packed with flavour and veggies and is sure to chase anyone’s winter blues away.
