I have been making quite a lot of soup this winter season. You may think, well, that’s pretty normal for the cold season. Perhaps but it’s not normal for me.

Since the Philippines is a hot country with only two major seasons – wet and dry – which incidentally are both relatively warm (hot!) weather, you won’t often find soup on a Filipino’s daily menu.

Besides that, soup, like tea, when served, is often associated with an ailment or being unwell as that’s often what’s given to anyone who has been afflicted with some illness in the Philippines.

Having this background, you can imagine, I am not much of a soup person at all.

However, this winter I have been cooking soup almost every week! What a transformation. It must have been the weather!

While winter has been pretty mild this year so far compared to previous seasons, we did get some good amount of rain and of course, there were those gloomy days which motivated me to make soup to warm our tummies and our hearts, too!

    I love recipes that you can prepare in under 30 minutes. And soup really is good anytime in my opinion..Especially on rainy days! This looks so satisfying and I love the addition of white beans.

    I love tortellini soup but so many recipes call for a cream-based soup, and I love that this is broth-based! The kielbasa and white beans makes it the perfect flavor combo. Looks so yummy!

    This is a loaded soup and would perfectly work as a dinner choice on a weeknight with some crusty bread. Pasta in soup is something that my kids love and cheese tortellini is a great choice.

    Yup, people associate soup with illness but SOUPS are awesome! πŸ™‚ I love soups. I prepare it at least 3x a week, no matter what season. This tortellini soup looks amazing. It's super healthy, nutritious, easy AND delicious. Perfect for any day! Can't wait to try it!

    Yum! I made this soup with a few changes to fit what I had on hand and it still came out really great. I used smoked german sausages, great northern beans, and half chicken and half vegetable broth. I also added some minced sage. It's a nice earthy soup that I don't mind eating, I'm not much of a soup person myself. I really do want to try this with kielbasa next time thought as I prefer it over smoked german sausage. Thank you for sharing your recipe. πŸ™‚
