Hearty Italian Tortellini Soup
This may look like a soup but it is a meal! It may be hot outside but we still have to eat and we had no problem eating this for supper. Full of Italian Sausage, Tortellini, herbs and plenty of veggies is what gave this soup one amazing taste.

I had a friend ask how could be do soup when it is so hot? I say a pot of soup, made on Sunday, means lots less cooking to heat up the kitchen during the week! Your posts always remind me of a post we wrote about kitchen tables…we all need to get back to them! https://littleblackdomicile.com/2018/03/07/the-kitchen-table-bring-it-back-please/
Exactly! Not just the table but having all of the family home at the same time to sit at the table. How times have changed. My grandkids think it is so cool to sit at our dining room table.
Ours too! Food is such a family connector.
Soup is really good for health. I hope you will like RasKadam which is well known as Kheer Kadam too it’s a bengali traditional dessert of India. Recipe is here https://amazingshining.com/how-to-prepare-kheer-kadam-indian-dessert-recipe
