Winter Soup with Chicken & Cheese Tortellini

Written by Published on Updated on May 21, 2019 in Uncategorized

It was a beautiful sunny day here yesterday, quite chilly with the temperature not going above 7 degrees.. Cold right! 🙂  I took Charlie for his morning walk to the park and was so fascinated with the colored leaves on the trees,  just absolutely stunning. 

I wanted to take photos to post them, but I didn’t have my camera with me so I tried to take photos with my phone.  Of course that didn’t work out because my phone is pre-historic and just freezes up every time I want to use it, so annoying!  

Our walk was fun, charlie had a great time running around and just enjoying the sun and playing with the other doggies…;)  I took in all those beautiful colors and  fresh air and started heading back home to make this wonderful soup which has a little of this and a little of that in it. 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    Sounds like a lovely day and a lovely soup!! It's cold here, too, but not quite that bad. I think it was 14 degrees today. A perfect day for soup! I actually like my tortellini cooked a little more than usual! Funny...
