The other day my son decides he wants to educate my daughter on Pokemon cards after she expressed her desire to trade them. He in fact told her that she had to write a report on the different type of Pokemon cards that he had in order to educate her and allow her to begin trading. She worked for an hour, researching and writing about those Pokemon characters so she could figure out how to trade the cards.

And what does he do when she turns it over to him?

Luckily not everything in life is so difficult, like this crockpot chicken tortellini soup recipe. This soup has got some really good herbs and spices to give it a hearty flavor. It's the perfect weeknight meal!

    But you cannot freeze the tortellini , so how do you keep them fresh if you want to put in freezer the soup ?

      Hi Georgette, i use frozen tortellini. We can buy it in the store. I add it to the slow cooker the last 15 minutes of cooking. Thanks!

      You can make the soup part and leave out the tortellini. If you are going to freeze it in portions you can just reheat the soup and then add the desired amount of tortellini. Hope that helps!
