Tortellini Soup

By gpawilson

Ingredients

• 3 TBS olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3 stalks celery, chopped
• 3 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 1 onion, diced
• 10 oz box frozen spinach (unthawed)
• 2 cans cream of chicken soup
• 2 cans water
• 32 oz chicken broth
• Family size pkg of cheese or chicken tortellini, half cooked

Preparation

Step 1

Put olive oil in the bottom of a large soup/stock pan.
Saute garlic, celery, caarrots and onions until tender.
Add frozen spinach. Break up blocks of spinach as you cook.
Continue to saute until spinach thaws, then heats up.
Add cream of chicken soup and water.
Add chicken broth and then add tortellini.
Heat and Serve.

It's better to let it stand a few hours so the broth soaks up into the noodles. Even make it the day before and reheat to serve.
