Cream Tortilla Soup and Pumpkin Crescent Roll
This week’s $10 dinner was inspired by a bag of cheese Tortellini I sold this week on Publix. There are also lots of butternut squash from our garden! If you can’t find a cheap tortellini, I’ll replace your favorite pasta with any favorite pasta and then place the soup bowl with chopped cheese before serving. For the price I paid for Tortellini, this is even a price swap!
