Tortellini Soup

From Apply Now, About.com Guide

Use packaged cheese tortellini for this easy soup.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion*
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4.5 ounce can sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 4 (14.5 ounce) cans ready to serve beef broth
  • 1 (9 ounce) pkg refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 3 cups chopped fresh spinach**

Preparation:

Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook 2 to 3 minutes until tender, stirring frequently. Add broth and wine to pan; bring to a boil. Add tortellini and bring to boil again. Boil 5-7 minutes, or until tortellini is done.

Stir in spinach and mushrooms, and cook another 1 - 2 minutes. Enjoy!

*I usually use 3 chopped green scallions instead of chopped onion, and add it at the end with the spinach so it stays fresh and green.
**Most of the time I don't have fresh spinach on hand, so I thaw 1/2 a package of frozen spinach. Make sure to wring it out really well before adding to soup.

I've also made this with chicken broth and it's very good like that, too. - Julie
