Tortellini Soup RecipeA Soup In A Mug GiftThis tortellini soup recipe is meant to become a gift. Think about those people on your gift list that you want to remember with a small gift -- teachers, neighbors, your mail person, hairdresser, etc. If you make several at the same time it becomes an even more frugal gift. Simply purchase several mugs that will hold at least 1-1/2 cups at your local dollar type store. You will also need small plastic food bags and twistie ties; make it more decorative with curly ribbon, twine, or raffia to attach a gift tag and directions. 1/2 cup dried tortellini 1-1/2 teaspoon dry chicken bouillon granules 1-1/2 teaspoon dry grated parmesan cheese pinch of oregano, basil, or Italian seasoning Mix the above ingredients in a small bowl. Spoon mixture into a small plastic storage bag. Seal the bag and place inside the mug.
