Eat Tortellini Soup Tonight!

Dear Andrew,  Addison, Family and Friends;

Yesterday we talked about tomatoes, having them for breakfast. This morning I am making a fried egg, toasted English muffin with a slice of tomato. This makes for a great lunch too.

I love when I receive recipes from friends.  Everytime I prepare their recipe, I think about them and how  thankful I am to have such good friends. The following recipe a friend gave to me many years ago. It is a great quick and healthy meal. If you serve this with a salad or some roasted vegetables its a complete meal.

Tortellini Soup

Extra virgin olive oil (evoo)

Small onion

Peeled carrots, sliced thin

2 cloves of garlic, chopped

One large can or box of chicken broth

1 package of tortellini, you will find this package in the refrigerated section of the market

A handful of fresh spinach, chopped

Salt and Pepper

Directions:

I always try to use as few of pots and pans as possible. So take a saucepan, cover the bottom of the pan with evoo. Saute onion, carrots and garlic until tender. Pour the chicken broth into the pot, add your chopped spinach. When the broth begins to simmer, add the tortellini and let the tortellini cook in the chicken broth according to the package which is about 12-14 minutes. Pour into your soup bowls and enjoy!

Love From Home
