Recipe Description

Easy, flavorful, satisfying and insanely good are how I describe this soup!

Preparation Instructions

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add in the garlic and saute for no more than 45 seconds (do not brown). Add in the chicken broth and red pepper flakes.

Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Add in the tortellini and cook for half the cooking time on the package. Add in the tomatoes, reduce heat to medium low and continue cooking until the tortellini is tender. Stir in the spinach and cook until it wilts (about a minute). Season if necessary with salt and pepper.

The flavors of this soup are good immediately. The soup is just as good the following day!

Enjoy!

I made this soup after coming home from a long day at work. Not only was it so easy to make, but it was also very flavorful! It hit the spot!

Yummm! My family loved it. Even my teenagers! I think you meant 19 oz of tortellini. I bought a 19 oz pkg. and used it all. Our family does not like things spicy so I omitted the red pepper. REALLY GOOD! It will go into the dinner rotation.

The flavor was delicious, and it was so easy! 9 oz. of tortellini was perfect (to me). The spinach put it over the top, and then I did add probably about 1/3 cup of Marscapone cheese I had leftover from another recipe — that gave it just the slightest creamy consistency, which I loved. I think I will do that again next time I make this!

I made this tonight and it was a lifesaver. Easy and very flavorful.

We really like the flavors of this soup, and it’s great to make after a long day at work because it’s so easy. Since my husband doesn’t consider it a meal without meat, I dice some pepperoni and throw it in with the tortellini.

I adjusted amount of broth slightly based on my containers, and only used 1 T of olive oil. Wonderfully warming, yummy soup. With my adjustments only 257 calories per 2 cup serving! Great for my eating habits!! I used half a 19 ounce package of tortellini and thought that was more than enough!

Made this for our office’s Thursday’s BYOBoS, Bring Your Own Bowl of Soup…..perfect! Easy to make, easy to transport to the office. Mighty tasty too!

I. Love. This. Recipe.

I make it all the time when I know we’re going to only have a short time to eat before going somewhere or I’m going to have a late night. I make it for crowds and everyone always loves it. This is officially one of my new secret recipes.

Asian Style Chicken Noodle Bowls

by Amee Winters "Modern Southern Cook" and filed in Brothy Soups, Soups

These chicken noodle bowls are loosely based on Pho, a dish my husband and I have been fortunate enough to enjoy at our friends’ house. They do a traditional Vietnamese recipe with beef. The dish has a flavorful beef broth, topped with fresh aromatics and vegetables.

I decided to make this version for my husband who has been sick all weekend with a terrible cold. The ginger root provides a homeopathic element to the broth.
