Easy Tortellini Soup

We love this quick and easy tortellini soup recipe, which uses store-bought pasta, garlicky broth, and veggies. I keep it vegetarian and buy cheese-filled pasta for this soup, but you can use whatever you love. Consider spinach, sausage, chicken, and even vegan fillings. Most (if not all) are available in larger grocery stores here in the US.

Coconut rice is just as easy to make as plain rice and tastes fantastic! All we need to do is swap half of the water for coconut milk. This coconut rice is perfect for almost any dish served with plain rice. It’s perfect in rice bowls, with curries, Thai dishes, stir-fries, and as a side to chicken and fish. *Long-grain rice works best in this recipe. Shorter grain rice tends to be more sticky.
