Easy Lemony Tortellini Soup

I don’t care if you say you can't cook, or say you don’t have time....ANYONE can boil water! Which is all this soup entails. This is an easy to make, great alternative to chicken noodle soup, perfectly comforting for these cozy Fall evenings. As a bonus, this uses the most interesting pasta ever - Tortellini! Easy to put together at the last minute for lunch or dinner. Seriously….try this:
