Tortellini Soup

OK, this soup is the BEST I've tasted in a very long time. It is quickly becoming my favorite go to soup, and it's super easy to make. Plus it's good for you too.



1 (14.5oz) can Fat-Free Chicken Broth: reduced sodium
1 tsp minced garlic
1 c. Cheese tortellini (the whole wheat version is a tasty way to add some fiber)
1 (14.5oz) can crushed tomato**
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Combine broth and garlic in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add tortellini; reduce heat and simmer for 6 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and oregano. Simmer 5 minutes or until tortellini is tender. Ladle into soup bowls. Sprinkles with Parmesan cheese before serving.

Makes 4 servings

** you can substitute an equivalent ounces of tomato sauce instead of the crushed tomato for a smoother soup.
