However, you can elevate this soup with only a few simple ingredients to create an easy weeknight dinner that you and your family will love! Over the next few days, I’ll be sharing THREE different ways you can elevate this soup and how you can make it a little extra festive with some Valentine’s Day serveware!

The first recipe I will share combines kale, spinach tortellini, pork, and, of course, the roasted red pepper and tortellini soup!
