Cheese Tortellini & Zucchini Soup



Created by: The Pretty Little Chef

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons of garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 zucchini (chopped to desired size, I quarter mine)
  • 2 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes, with juices or 6-7 fresh roma tomatoes (chopped w/ juices)
  • 8 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 19 oz. package of frozen cheese tortellini
  • Grated Parmesan & Dried Parsley, for serving
Directions:
  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, Add Broth, diced tomatoes, onion, zucchini, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and basil. Bring to a boil.
  2. Boil on medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until onions & zucchini are tender.
  3. Add frozen tortellini to boiling water and change the heat to "low". It is not good to boil the tortellini the whole time. Let the soup cook for 3-5 mins. or until the tortellini is cooked and floating to the top.
  4. Garnish with Parsley and Parmesan Cheese before serving. Enjoy!
