This soup was simple, delicious, light & so easy to make. It paired nicely with a tossed salad and crusty fresh baked bread & butter. My kids LOVED this soup.- 6-8 cups homemade chicken stock (recipe below)
- 1-2 tsp chicken bullion granules
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 package of fresh tortellini (whatever flavor you like - we use pesto)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
Pour chicken broth into a large dutch oven being careful not to add fat. Skim as much fat from the top of the stock as possible. Add seasonings & bring to a boil. Add tortellini & cook per instructions. Add spinach right before tortellini is finished cooking - serve immediately. Enjoy.
Chicken Stock
After making a roasted chicken, I make a delicious stock using the following ingredients:
- Chicken remains (remove skin so it isn't as fatty)
- Onion, chopped into large chunks
- Celery, chopped into large chunks
- Carrots, chopped into large chunks
- Bay leaf
- Fresh chopped parsley
- Garlic
- Dried basil
- Salt & pepper
I let it simmer for 2-3 hours, strain it and put in the refrigerator for the night.
