Sometimes you just need comfort food.  Nothing else will do. It needs to be CREAMY and it needs to be CHEESY  and it needs to somehow make you forget that { it has been raining for about a bizillion days in a row in Seattle}  or { insert your own reason for needing some comfort}.

Normally this means you’re diving into something that’s full of fat and calories…but not today! This Creamy Cheese Tortellini + Mushroom soup  will completely satisfy that need for comfort food but each serving is under 300 calories!

As if it couldn’t get any better…this soup can be made in one-pot  in less than 30 mins!

I’m using fresh three cheese tortellini but you could easily substitute your favorite type of tortellini (wild mushroom, chicken and artichoke etc.) or even fresh ravioli ( more on Ravioli Soup here– also under 300 calories/serving).

One pot…creamy comfort food…ready in 30 mins. and under 300 calories ? Oh YES please!
