Tortellini Zoupa

You don't appreciate the complexity or simplicity of a good recipe until you make it yourself.  And this is one of those simple but delicious recipes (that's ready in no time and takes very little effort or skill) that I didn't appreciate until I made it.

Growing up, my mom used to make this soup for us every Fall.  I remember asking for seconds (and thirds!)  because it's just that good.  She got the recipe from my godmother who brought it over from Italy.  

So here it is...the best tortellini soup that's ready in less than 30 minutes!
