foodie crush: Tortellini Soup with Artichokes
We love this soup because it can be on the dinner table in under 30 minutes, which makes it absolutely perfect for a weeknight dinner. The three-cheese tortellini and garbanzo beans pack a filling punch, and the artichokes, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes offer a nice array of veggies. And of course you can't go wrong when the soup is topped off with a little freshly grated parmesan.
