Anna's Tortillini Soup {Recipe}

Okay, so I am going to share a recipe that is just absolutely delicious! I've been seeing recipes for tortillini soup circulated around, but they're all different. So I started studying them and decided to take MY favorite ingredients, and make my own version. And let me just say that it was an INSTANT hit in the Watson home! :)

Use a large crock pot or stock pot (I personally use a large crock pot)

Ingredients needed: 

1 - 48oz carton of swanson chicken broth

2 - cans of cream of mushroom soup

1 - can of regular diced tomatoes

2 - cans of diced tomatoes with green chilies 

1 - bag of baby spinach

2 - blocks of cream cheese

2 - packages of 4 cheese tortellini (I get this in the deli section at Kroger)

1 - Large jalapeno sausage link

2 - Large Italian sausage links 

Directions:

Pour chicken broth into the pot. 

Cut up one block of cream cheese and add it to the chicken broth. 

Next, add the two cans of cream of mushroom soup. 

Then add your cans of tomatoes (you can use 3 cans of regular diced tomatoes if you don't want it spicy). Add in the packs of tortellini. 

Begin shoveling in the baby spinach. You may not be able to use the entire bag - I could only use 3/4 of the bag. 

Cut up your sausage links into small chunks and add them in.

Then cut up your second block of cream cheese and evenly add them to the top. 

Stir, and cover. 

Let cook until boiling and the spinach has shrunk. 

Serve in a bowl and top with shredded cheese (optional).

The perfect GOLD {makeup}

Unintentionally, I am all about some gold this Fall. I don't know why... I've never really cared for gold beauty products before, but this Fall, I am all about it. 

I keep getting a ton of compliments on my eye makeup when I use this trio, so I figured I would blog it in case anyone wants to know what I'm using to get this look.... 

Just excuse my cheesy expressions, lol

So.... for this eye shadow look, I use three shadows:

For the base and highlight, I use Benefit's creaseless cream in bikini-tini

In my crease I use Stila's pink diamond (from the Luxe eye shadow pallette) 

and then for the gold, I use BellaPierre's celebration. 

It's hard to tell in the pic where I have my eyes closed, but it has just the right amount of shimmer. Honestly, in my opinion, it's the perfect gold! 

And then for the rest of my makeup, I used benefit's dr feelgood for my primer, revlon's photo finish foundation, too faced primed and poreless powder, revlon's photo finish pressed powder, and for my eye liner, I have been using Urban decay's 24/7 liner in oil slick on my upper and bottom waterline. And today I used Tarte's lights, camera, lashes mascara, but normally I use benefit's they're real. And my blush is mirabella's highlight blush in pink rose. And by this point, my lipstick and gloss was non-existent. haha

Anyways.... so that's my favorite eye shadow colors right now. I'm especially diggin' the gold for this fall. Don't get me wrong, I switch it up and have a ton of colors I use, but I am loving this gold, and I get a ton of compliments when I wear my eye make up like this. 

What's your favorite eye shadow colors this fall?

Speaking of Fall colors....

I love Fall. I love everything about Fall. Cooler temperatures, crisp air, hoodies, bonfires, leaves changing colors.... and speaking of colors, I love Fall nail polish colors as well. 

I was in CVS the other day, and I was heading to the front to check out, and of course they keep the beauty section at the front to pull me in.... and I walked by the Maybelline Color Show nail polishes and my eyes immediately went to this gorgeous golden color....

It's from the "Vintage Leather" collection, in the color "classic camel" (895) and I am loving it! It reminds me of the same color that maple leaves turn in the fall. 

It's has a matte finish, and it's sooooo pretty! 

What do you think of this color? 

(don't mind the messy job I did. I took a picture before I cleaned it up).
