This easy soup recipe is from Taste of Home. A simple, but flavorful soup that will provide savory warmth in these cold days of winter. Fast and easy, all you need is a large pot and you are good to go!
Ingredients
16 frozen fully cooked Italian meatballs (about 1 pound)
1 can (14.5 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 32 ounce cartons chicken stock
2 cups frozen cheese tortellini (about 8 ounces)
3 ounces fresh baby spinach (about 4 cups)
Shredded Parmesan cheese, optional
Directions:
1. Place the first 5 ingredients in a 6-qt. stockpot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 10 minutes.
2. Return to a boil. Add tortellini; cook, uncovered, until meatballs are heated through and tortellini are tender, 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in spinach until wilted. Serve immediately. If desired, top with cheese.
Can be made and frozen in single serve freezer containers. To keep the tortellini from over cooking, simply wait to add the tortellini until you reheat your frozen soup and cook for 3-5 minutes.
