Tortellini Soup with Grilled Vegetables

Chicken soup often gets all the attention but in my book, a steaming bowl of tortellini soup with grilled veggies is my soup of choice. It sounds like it’s time-consuming but it’s an easy meal to make when you are short on time or just looking for a tasty soup using your Bull side burners.

The Bull Sweet Heat Rub adds a great kick to this hearty soup.

I always try to keep the ingredients for this soup on hand especially during the winter months. The tortellini can be dropped into the soup frozen instead of using fresh pasta. I normally use corn and zucchini as my main veggies but you can always add other seasonal grilled vegetables to your soup.
