There is nothing like a delicious warm bowl of soup on a cold day. I've made three different kinds of soups in the last two weeks and will post the recipes here, starting with this one. This recipe was a clipping from the newspaper a few months ago. I made this soup last night for dinner and it was delicious!
Tortellini & Spinach Soup
2 cups chicken broth (I added a little more)
1 (9 oz.) package refrigerated 3-cheese tortellini
1 (14.5 oz) can tomatoes with bell pepper & onion or stewed tomatoes
1 package fresh baby spinach
1 TBSP dried basil or 3 TBSP freshly chopped basil
shredded parmesan cheese (not grated)
dash of pepper
Bring broth to boil over medium high heat. Add tortellini; reduce heat to medium and simmer gently for about 5 minutes. Gently stir in tomatoes. Simmer about 5 minutes more or until tortellini is tender. Stir in spinach one handful at a time. Stir in basil. Cook only until spinach is wilted. Serve immediately in bowls and top with cheese and a sprinkle of pepper. Enjoy!
