Spicy Tortellini Soup

In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and garlic and cook until the onions have softened, about 3 minutes. Add the broth, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, red chili pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, basil, oregano, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Bring to boil and then simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.

Lower heat to medium-low and add the tortellini, black beans and corn cook until the tortellini have softened about 10 minutes. (You can also cook the tortellini separately if you want and just add them to the pot and simmer for 5 minutes, but I didn’t feel like washing another pot). Let cool for about 10 minute and serve with grated parmesan cheese.
