Chicken Tortellini Soup
I found this recipe on www.sparkpeople.com and thought it would be perfect since I'm trying to clean out the pantry & freezer. They are both so full that I honestly don't even remember what we have! I did remember, however, that we had a package of tortellini in the freezer so thought this would be a great use for it. It was DELICIOUS! My husband ate 2 full bowls. It was really easy to make and made a huge pot (I did tweak the recipe a bit).
Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped
2-4 cloves garlic, minced
2 T Olive Oil
3 Chicken Breasts, Cubed
1 Pkg. Four Cheese Tricolor Tortellini
6 Cups (3-14 oz. cans) Chicken Broth
1 14.5 oz. Can Diced Tomatoes
3 Cups Baby Spinach
1/4 Cup Chopped Fresh Basil (I used 2 frozen basil cubes from Trader Joe's)
1 Can Garbanzo Beans
Directions:
Saute onions, garlic, and chicken in olive oil in a dutch oven or large soup pot until chicken is no longer pink. Add broth and bring to a boil-cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add tortellini and cook approximately 10 minutes or until al dente. Add tomatoes, spinach, beans, and basil and cook over medium heat until spinach is wilted. Enjoy!

this recipe sounds and looks delicious and Joe wants me to get what i need to make it. You need to post more recipes for us that tend to make the same thing week after week.Keep posting I can't wait to see whats next for me to cook or bake
Looks Great! I need to hit Trader Joe's and check out some of that Basil cubes. Sounds like a great idea. I'm tired of paying so much for the fresh herbs and half of it goes for a waste!
I made this recipe on Saturday and my family just loved it. I had some leftovers and took it to work with me on Monday and it was even better then on the day I made it. This is going to be one of our favorites and it was very easy to do. thank you
