Recipe Review: Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup (Tasty Kitchen)

Fall is teasing to hit us here soon, and it. is. awesome.

This is my first experience living in a state with seasons. In Florida, it'll be "fall" for two weeks in January and then it's summer again. Here, we might actually get a little season of that beautiful breezy mountain air and colorful leaves and sweater-but-not-jacket temperatures. Not to mention it's football season, AKA the most wonderful time of the year! And the best part of fall, food-wise, is the reemergence of hot soups. Potato-bacon-cheddar, tomato with a grilled cheese, wild rice & mushroom, curried butternut squash - they're all delicious and inspire cozy images of scarves and cool night air and impending holidays. So I clicked around on Pinterest for a while, looking for inspiration, and ran across this picture:
