Tortellini Soup

Because tortellini fits on a spoon and lasagna noodles do not. Y’all really trying to eat those noodles with that spoon 😂 this is so much easier and not to mention tortellini has cheese stuffed inside 🤤 Here’s my suggestion, use sweet Italian sausage the first time you make it. It needs to be made in its original form first. Then you can do what I do and make it more macro friendly. Because I was in a hurry I didn’t brown the meat first LIKE AN IDIOT. That adds so much flavor. So START with browning the meat. We want it caramelized people. This takes a lil time. Do it just a hair under medium heat. Brown bits are our friend. Full instructions are below since this video is a hot mess.
