Tortellini Soup

My favorite tortellini soup recipe. It's quick and easy to fix on a busy night and full of tasty, healthy ingredients. Make it Italian by adding some Italian seasoning and parmesan cheese rind while cooking.

Directions

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven heat oil.

Add onion, mushrooms, and garlic.

Cook, stirring occasionally until onion is tender.

Add chicken broth and water.

Bring to a boil.

Add tortellini and cook until al denté or tender as desired.

Stir in the peas, cook for a few minutes, add the parsley and serve.

Variations

The flavor can be greatly enhanced by simmering the soup stalk for 20 minutes with a leftover parmesan rind and adding 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning before adding the tortellini.

Any kind of tortellini can be used. We like tri-color cheese tortellini, either fresh or frozen.

"Beef" it up

To "beef" it up, omit the oil and cook 1/2 pound of Italian sausage meat with the onions. Sometimes we'll also drop in meatballs.
