Veggie Tortellini Soup

I've started a new cookbook! This time I'm going into Pioneer Woman's Come and Get It! book.
I got this book for Christmas, and easily found dozens of recipes I want to try. Fun fact about my culinary history, when I was first out on my own trying to learn how to cook, I remember watching a Pioneer Woman episode, seeing a recipe I knew I could make and successfully made it.
That recipe was egg in the hole, this one is veggie tortellini soup.

Ingredients
8 cups of vegetable or chicken broth

Pre-cream mixture

1 6 oz can of tomato paste
1 10 ounce package of frozen mixed veggies
1 9 oz package of fresh cheese tortellini
1/2 cup of heavy cream
1/2 tsp of parsley flakes
1/2 tsp of dried basil

Directions
In a medium pot, bring the broth of a simmer, over medium heat.
Add the tomato paste, and stir until it is well combined.
Add the frozen veggies and return to liquid to a strong simmer.
Add the tortellini and cook until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the heavy cream and stir until everything is combined.
Top with parsley basil and salt and pepper to taste.

Changes I Made!
I would love for veggie mixes to not have peas in them! Despite that I do enjoy this recipe.
I cooked my tortellini by package directions.
Right before serving, I also dashed some Parmesan cheese on this.

This recipe is from The Pioneer Woman: Come and Get It!

"A Farewell to Arms" Mac N Cheese

I love reading, so when I was given The Book Lovers Cook Book it was a dream come true. I have a deep love for The Lost Generation, so this recipe sneaked in between a quote from Gertrude Stein, and a passage from Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" was a perfect start for me. Ingredients 2 cups of uncooked macaroni 1/4 cup of butter 2 tbs of flour 2 cups of milk 8 oz of cream cheese, softened 2 tsp of Dijon mustard 1/2 tsp of salt 1/2 tsp of pepper 8 oz of mild cheddar, grated Chives Directions Cook macaroni until tender, drain and set aside. Melt butter in a sauce pan until it sizzles. Stir in flour, and cook for at least 1 minute. Continue cooking over medium heat and add milk, cream cheese, mustard, salt and peppe...

Baked Potato Soup

Baked potato soup is one of the first soups I learned how to make, and this recipe is my go to recipe, especially in the middle of winter, because most of the ingredients I have on hand at all times. Ingredients 2 medium potatoes, bakes and cooled 1 can of chicken broth 2 tbs of sour cream 1/8 tsp of pepper 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese Directions Peel potatoes and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Place 1/2 of the potato in a blender and with chicken broth. Pour mix into sauce pan and add remaining potato, sour cream and pepper. Cook over low heat until heated through. Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, and whatever else you want. Changes I made! I do not mess with this recipe except what I add on top when I eat. This recipe is from Taste of Home.

Stuffed portobello

This is a dish I always heard about, but have never actually had, until I made it myself for this blog. I love mushrooms, but if there's one thing this recipe introduced to me is a love for white bean puree. Overall, very good and hearty vegetarian dish. Ingredients 1 15 ounce can of drained white kidney or cannellini beans, rinsed and drained 2 tbs of olive oil, divided 1 tbs of water 1 tsp dried rosemary 1 garlic clove, crushed 1/4 tsp of salt 1/4 tsp pepper 4 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed 1 medium sweet red pepper, finely chopped 1 medium red onion, finely chopped 1 medium zucchini, finely chopped. 1/2 cup of shredded pepper jack cheese Directions In a food processor, combine beans, one tbs of oil, water, rosemary, garlic, salt and...
