This is one of the first recipes we made out of our original wedding gift subscription to Cooking Light. It has been a long standing "speed meal" of choice, by which we meal a meal that is speedy to prepare, not to eat! It has the class of a much harder dish - the wine gives the broth an unexpected elegance - with the ease of packaged tortellini. This is a wonderful meal after a stressful day when you just want to crash. It takes no time to prepare, but makes you feel pampered.

Prep Notes
Difficulty: Super easy
Chopping: Garlic, tomato, zucchini, onion
Time: 20 minutes
Make ahead: It's best fresh since the tortellini absorbs a lot of broth if you keep it, but the soup can be refreshed by adding dilute broth.

Reaction
J: "How can so fast be so good???"
M: "I'm a tortellini monster."
