SLOW COOKER TOMATO BASIL SOUP WITH TORTELLINI

Warm, comforting, and hearty — all phrases that describe this simple and easy to make gradual cooker tomato basil soup. It’s going to be a huge crowd pleaser!

Apparently, I’m on a HUGE soup kick lately. Can you blame me although? My daughter stayed home from college the day before today with a little bloodless and it rained ALL day. Literally ALL DAY WITHOUT STOPPING. Ick. If that doesn’t name for soup, I don’t realize what does.
We still had an extremely good day though. My little six-12 months-old kind A daughter came to me with a clipboard and a pen and asked I make a list of all the things we were going to do this day so she should take a look at them off as we progressed thru our day. I made the listing, and she or he took it one step in addition and delivered a container after each item so she should take a look at them off as we completed each venture.

We stayed in our pajamas, did puzzles, study books, ate masses of snacks, made muffins, made pumpkin cutout cookies, did homework, and simply had a comfy, amusing day. Check, test, check and test. She’s returned to school today and I’m looking to get again into my routine.

Maybe I have to make a list.

I think I can handle that today.
