Tortellini Tomato Soup

INGREDIENTS

Serve with crusty bread...Yum...

•2 Tablespoons butter

•1 large shallot or 1 small onion, chopped

•3 cloves garlic

•salt and pepper

•48oz chicken broth

•24oz good-quality marinara sauce

•3/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

•16oz fresh or frozen cheese tortellini

DIRECTIONS

•As you prepare this dish, save a small quantity of tortellini (cooked), basil (to smell), marinara sauce, untouched, to share with your toddler.                                         

1.Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add shallots (or onions) then season with salt and pepper and sauté until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic then sauté for 30 more seconds. Add chicken broth, marinara sauce, and fresh basil then turn heat to high and bring to a boil.

2.Carefully add tortellini to boiling soup then place a lid on top, turn heat down to medium, and then cook until tender. Serve with croutons.

•Tip: Add tortellini directly into served bowls. Storing the broth with tortellini left inside will cause broth to get absorbed and tortellini to be soggy.

NOTE: I like to add some sliced carrots, celery, zucchini, and peppers.
