Cheese Tortellini Soup

As always, I needed a fast recipe because I arrived home late (story of my life it seems!)  Besides having to pick up the tortellini on my way home (I grabbed these gluten free tortellini from Zehrs), I had everything else on hand! Fast, easy, inexpensive and tasty - try it!!

CHEESE TORTELLINI SOUP

Ingredients:

1 package of refrigerated fresh tortellini

6 cups of chicken broth

1 large can of diced tomatoes

1 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, diced

2 handfuls of fresh spinach or arugula

1 tbsp dried basil

1 tsp freshly ground pepper

• Heat oil over medium high in a large pot.  Add onions and saute until golden brown.  Add stock and bring to a boil.
• Once boiling, add tortellini.  Reduce heat to medium and cook until al dente.
• Add tomatoes and juice, arugula, dried basil and ground pepper.  Simmer until arugula is wilted.
• Serve with Parmesan grated over top, if desired.
• ENJOY!
