Tomato-Basil Tortellini Soup

David and I love Souper Salad (for those in Florida, it's like Sweet Tomatoes) They had this soup one night that we went Tomato Basil and I fell in love with such a simple soup. Very different from plain tomato soup. So I looked for recipes for one and I found one that had Tortellini in it and WOW what a great yummy soup! We loved it! Here ya go!

1 TBL spoon olive oil
2 Garlic Cloves, minced (or 2 tsp. minced garlic)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans Chicken Broth
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 (9 ounce) package cheese tortellini (or beef tortellini, whichever you prefer)
1 cup fresh basil, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste

Over medium heat cook garlic in oil until you can smell it cooking =)

Stir in broth and tomatoes; bring to a boil.

Add tortellini, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Stir in basil, salt and pepper.

Simmer for 3 minutes longer.

  1. It looks and sounds so good! I'll have to take your word for it though. I'm allergic to tomatoes. :<<
