Tortellini Soup
easy, 30 minutes prep and cook combined
heat 2 T olive oil
add 6 cloves chopped garlic (I put about 3 T of pre-chopped, refrigerated garlic)
add 48 oz chicken broth and some red pepper flakes
when boiling add tortellini (packaged in pasta aisle... I prefer the spinach and cheese for this recipe)
cook for half the tortellini cook time
add 14-28 oz crushed tomatoes (the recipe calls for 14, I always do about 26)
cook for remainder of tortellini cook time
add some fresh spinach leaves, cook for a minute or so
Delicious! Wanted to record a few variations of what I did that we liked. Still super easy.
ReplyDeleteCooked 1/2 c. chopped onion with the garlic. Added 36 oz box of chicken broth and most of a 28 oz can crushed tomatoes, a bunch of italian seasoning, a few dashes red pepper, 1/2 tsp salt and a bit of pepper. Once boiling added maybe .7 lb cooked ground Italian sausage. Simmered, covered for about 15 minutes (less really cuz didn't want to wait), then added Costco frozen tortellini which just needs to cook a few minutes. Added the spinach about a minute before being done. Sprinkled with parmesan.
