This pesto tortellini soup is so quick and easy to make. It may not even take you 20 minutes. It’s as simple as boiling some broth and throwing in some pasta that cooks in 2 minutes. Literally. The pesto adds a nice salty-sweet flavor that (in my mom’s words) tantalizes your taste buds. The tortellini soup is pretty hearty, but you may want to add some garlic toast or French bread to round out the meal.

My kids also enjoyed this meal. It took my 3 year old a minute to be willing to try the tortellini, but once he did, he ate it all. That’s saying a lot for him, since he tends to eat like a bird at dinner.

I purchased both the tortellini and pesto at Costco after hearing multiple rave reviews about their pesto. Yes, you can absolutely make your own. But, if you don’t feel like it – the pre-made stuff is pretty darn good. We have been eating it on everything this week.

Without further rambling, here is your recipe.
