This is such a simple, tasty, and comforting soup! You will *love* the taste and you can have homemade soup in about 20 minutes =)
GARLICKY TORTELLINI, SPINACH, AND TOMATO SOUP
2 Tbsp butter
9 cloves garlic, chopped (use fresh- it really makes it!)
4c. chicken broth, plus 1/4c. water
7oz. cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
14oz. canned diced tomatoes, with liquid
10oz. spinach, washed & stemmed; coarsely chopped (hint- just buy the bagged baby spinach!)
8 to 10 leaves basil, coarsely chopped (I use dried)
grated parmesan
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over med-high heat. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook halfway, about 5 minutes for frozen, less for fresh. Add the tomatoes and their liquid, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook just until pasta is tender. Stir in the spinach and basil, cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Serve sprinkled with parmesan cheese.
Serves 4 happy people.
Let me know if you try it! Like most soups, it's better the day after. I like to dip some crusty bread in the warm broth =)
