We say the more, the merrier when it comes to classic Italian minestrone soup. Sure, typically that’s in reference to lots and lots of vegetables, but we took it a different direction and added a touch of creaminess, plus cheese-filled tortellini.

No, not the ones clad in capes and spandex, but the huge sandwiches (or subs as they’re called out of state) that you would order from your local Italian restaurant. The king of all the various filling […]
