CHICKEN TORTELLINI SOUP

This recipe puts a different spin on traditional chicken noodle soup. I like to use cheese tortellini instead of plain noodles for a pleasant and filling change of pace. This easy creation has become a family favorite that I can count on often. -Jean Atherly, Red Lodge, Montana
