tortellini soup

Tonight for dinner I made a tortellini soup and it was pretty good! surprised? I am. I did not want to cook this soup because hot weather and hot soup don't mix well. I am glad I did though- it was easy and good! Pravin says he enjoyed it too. I will definitely be making this again!

serves 4

-1 tbsp olive oil

-1/2 cup chopped onion

-2 cloves garlic, minced

-1/2 tsp dried oregano

-1 (15oz) can diced tomatoes

-4 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth- i used chicken

-9 oz, tortellini, any variety (fresh or frozen) - I used a fresh 3 cheese tortellini, and I had a 20oz. package and used more than half.

-3 cups fresh baby spinach

-grated parmesan 

In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix in oregano and diced tomatoes. Add broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Then add the tortellini and cook according to package directions. A minute before pasta is done, add in the spinach and remove from heat. Serve with grated parmesan. Don't forget the toasted parmesan bread! Yum!
