Getting together with friends tonight and I wanted to make something special. Well, for one, it's my baby's birthday. She's officially 3 today. We did celebrate in Vegas a few weeks back, but I couldn't let her actual birthday go by without a little flare. And of course, when asked what she wanted for dinner....Noodles.
I didn't just want to make a pot of spaghetti (well, I just didn't have the time to do it the way I wanted) So, I fished around my bookmarked recipes and found one for a smokey minestrone that included tortellini's. I've already made a killer tortellini soup, so I decided to merge the two recipes together to create this one.
I absolutely love a soup that is full of veggies, mainly because my girls will eat just about anything in a bowl with broth. It's a fairly simple dish to make and you can save time by buying pre-chopped veggies. I like to use my mandolin to slice...makes it go quickly!
Looking forward to a night with my friends, my mom, and my girls. The only major thing missing is my hubby. (who, at this moment, is tucked away in bed...in Saudi) :(
