Rustic Tortellini Soup

This is a recipe that kind of stumbled upon years ago. I adjusted it for the ingredients I had and then tweaked it over the years until until it’s become one of our favorite soup recipes. We are a pasta loving family but sometimes we need something different than cooked pasta with a sauce so this soup hits the spot. It’s filling and our 4 boys love the cheesy tortellini.

If you want to switch it up you can get tortellini filled with other things like spinach or sun dried tomatoes.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium chopped onion
• 3-4 cloves of minced garlic
• 2 boxes (16 oz each) reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1 1/2 cup of water
• 1 can (14 1/2 oz) diced tomatoes
• 2 packages (9 oz) cheese tortellini (refrigerated or frozen)
• 2 cups frozen chopped spinach
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Shredded Parmesan (optional)

Directions

1. In a large pot saute chopped onion in oil until translucent then add garlic and saute for 2 minutes.
2. Then add the chicken broth, water, and tomatoes and bring to a boil.
3. Add tortellini and return to a boil. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Reduce heat and add spinach, seasoning and pepper. Cook another 3 minutes.
5. Serve topped with cheese.
