Lean Beef Tortellini Soup

When it’s 20 degrees in Denver and my face feels like it is going to fall off every time I walk outside, I can’t think of many things I crave more than soup. It’s warm, it’s comforting, it’s delicious, and it’s typically healthy! Plus I love that I can get all of my macros and veggies into one bowl. This soup really hit the spot because, well, who doesn’t love tortellini?!
