Broke Fast with Creamy Tortellini, Spinach, & Sausage Soup. A Wonderful Break Following a Full-Day of Grant Work & Organizing

I love to cook. I suppose, if I could take a mini-vacation, I might like to spend a week cooking, or in the kitchen, and/or learning new techniques. The problem with living to cook, is not having time to cook. I'm a cheese and box of crackers guy...meaning, I often grab whatever I can when I'm ready. This is a bad idea, I know, but there's only so many seconds in a day.

Now, with that noted, I made soup for the week, thinking ahead to all the days before the mini-Easter break. I'm fasting in support of those celebrating Ramadan and doing my best to complete a fast yet again. On Sundays, though, the call for good food is more forefront, because I'm thinking about what to cook for the week.

I returned to the creamy soup, trying to master the right thickness of broth. The flavors are out of this world and I'm good to go for the week, unless I share with friends (which I'll likely do). 

The bowl above is just a tasting, as I needed more time cooking the soup, but I wanted something to go with the left overs from La Cantina on Saturday. 

I'm in good shape for the week. I teach late three nights in a row, but I can come home to dinner already being made. It does need to thicken up, however. That's for sure.
