Tortellini Soup

Dinner in a Flash!

I taught myself how to cook during college - after eating every flavor of Hot Pocket that was ever made.  I remember sliding the hot pock out of the sleeve and thinking to myself, "enough is enough."  Anyway, I was learning the basic comfort foods throughout my four years and was excited to move in with my besties after graduation so that we could all cook together and share recipes.  My honorary sister, Kari, made this soup for us while living together and I have been making it consistently ever since.  It is so easy and SO GOOD! I'll always think of her when I make it and I think that's why I make it when I'm not feeling so great - instant comfort!  Keep reading to find out how to boil up this ridiculously easy crowd-pleasing soup.

Hangry BFs parents were in town recently and I had the privilege to learn how to make his favorite meals straight from the source - his mom!  The first thing we made were her famous enchiladas.  Typically she just makes them with cheese and scallions, but I added chicken for a Hangry District twist. Check out how we did it below.
