Vegetable Tortellini Soupwith basil / zucchini / mushrooms
Sun-dried tomatoes have rich umami flavor which makes a great foundation for this simple tomato soup.
Smarts: Use any type of tortellini you'd like here - a cheese or meat filling would both be great. If you make the soup ahead, just wait to stir the tortellini in until right before serving.

I love the immersion idea, my kids are more likely to eat it that way, the 3 year old doesn't like pieces of tomato. It may be a little spicy for her, but will possibly mix in some yogurt or coconut milk for them. This is an extremely fast recipe.
Keto friendly!
This is one of my favorite soups to make - super easy with great flavor.
Tasty and comforting on a rainy day, although nothing that blew my socks off. I had so many vegetables that I added about 1.5 cups of water to a 4 serving soup just so that it stayed...a soup.
I added Italian sausage to this, because my husband likes meat with dinner. Very good, will make again.
Added a bunch of red pepper flakes for a kick. Very tasty.
