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!

Unfried Chicken

Baked chicken is a staple in any house hold. The skin or crust for the chicken can make or break any meal. So I am on the hunt for better ways to make chicken.

Penne alla Vodka

For me, trying out new things is a must for this challenge, and new sauces is differently something I have found joy in.

Spaghetti Carbonana

I love pasta, and I love mixing up how I serve pasta. I'm normally not a big spaghetti fan, might have to do with how Giada pronounces it on Food Network, not sure, but I really wanted to try this sauce. This recipe also has pancetta in it, which is my favorite addition to a good pasta dish. Ingredients 1 lb of spaghetti 2 tbs of olive oil 4 ounces of pancetta, chopped 4 large eggs 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan Salt and pepper for seasoning 3 tbs of parsley Directions Cook spaghetti according to packaging. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat, and add oil and pancetta. Brown pancetta for about 3 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, mix together eggs and Parmesan. Season mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Drain the excess grease off of pancetta. Add...
