Quick & Easy Tortellini Soup With Spinach And Tomatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans vegetable broth
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes (do not drain)
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 ounces cheese-filled egg tortellini, dry
1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach, chopped (no need to thaw or drain)
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup red wine
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation

In a large pot, combine all ingredients except the tortellini and parmesan cheese.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes.
While the tomato and spinach mixture simmers, prepare tortellini according to the package.
Do not overcook- I prefer to undercook the pasta by a minute or two so it stays firm.
Drain.
Add tortellini to the tomato and spinach mixture and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Serve the soup in bowls, topped with the parmesan cheese.
