Tortellini Soup

This is the third time I have made this soup, and I LOVE it. It is a soup that really only gets better each day you have it :) Its delicious and comforting the first night, but then the next day the tortellini soaks up some of the broth and makes a thick sauce, just yummy!

3 cans of chicken broth

1 large can of crushed tomatoes

1 bag of tortellini (fresh from the fridge section or dry works)

4 zucchini, cut into 1/2 moons

1 cup of mushrooms, chopped

1 onion, diced

4 cloves of garlic, minced

1 can of diced tomatoes (I used fire roasted w/ garlic)

1 can of white beans, drained and rinsed

salt and pepper

parsley flakes

Directions:

• In a large pot, saute the garlic and onion for about 5 minutes until the onion starts to get soft. Then add the mushrooms and zucchini, cook for 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and parsley flakes.
• Then add the diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, chicken broth and beans and bring to a boil.
• Once the soup is boiling, add your tortellini and cook for about 20 minutes (if it is the dry kind pictured above).
• Serve!
