Tonight was a new one from Pinterest that looked appetizing and I am READY for soup...even if it is in the 90s outside!!

The votes for how it turned out was split...more in FAVOR of keeping the recipe and making often than NOT.  

Let me first say that the recipe on it's own was bland....REALLY, REALLY bland.  The amount of Italian Seasoning, I thought, was TOO MUCH (maybe it was my seasoning) and than there was far too little of the other seasoning.  I tasted...added more pepper....tasted.....added more salt....tasted....added more onion powder....tasted....added more pepper.....tasted.....added more onion powder....tasted....added some greek seasoning....gave up and informed everyone that it was just ok.

Than Sierra, who was about to starve to death, requested her food early...and raved about how great it was.  Before the rest of us could even get our soup, she was asking for seconds.  Matt said it was great and wanted it in regular rotation.  Daniel didn't say anything, but ate it all which equals liking it a lot.  I felt that it lacked some flavor, but I was over ruled.  I wonder if it would taste better with chicken.

So, here is the recipe, as originally written.  Like I said...I would add seasoning.

Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup

Preparation InstructionsSaute garlic with the olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat until golden brown. Be sure to keep an eye on it so it doesn’t get too brown or burnt.

When the garlic is done, add tomato soup, tomatoes, milk, half and half, chicken stock and spices. Bring to a simmer. Once simmering, drop noodles into the soup. Cook according to the package directions. Mine takes about 8 minutes.

After noodles are cooked, ladle soup into bowls and top with parmesan cheese and serve with crusty bread.

    It amazes me how many people do not love to cook.  I love it.  There is nothing quite so exhilarating as preparing a meal and having your family loving what you have prepared.  I am often asked what I cook and for my recipes.  I love pinterest and get many of my recipes there. I will now post what's cooking here...hopefully you can be inspired, from the very easy to the more involved.
