Love, Pomegranate House

During the cold winter months there is nothing I love more than a hot cup of soup. Well, it has already been warming up nicely around here but I still can use the January date as a reason to make a soup! Growing up, one of my favorite soups was good ole’ Campbell’s tomato soup. So when I found this recipe for an adult version that uses Campbell’s tomato soup as a base, I knew I had to try it! I present to you Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup!

I know that there are many “grown up” versions of tomato soup but I had to share mine with you. Most of those recipes have big chunks of tomatoes in them. And apparently I’m still a little bit of the picky eater I was when I was a kid because I really dislike chunks of tomatoes. So my variation is a recipe that gives you all that glorious tomato flavor without the giant chunks of tomatoes. {Though if you love chunks of tomatoes I’m sure  you could easily put some in!}
