Tortellini Minestrone
Well, that's a title! I raided my refrigerator for vegetables today and came up with a great soup. Probably not the best weather for soup, as it's nearly 70 right now, but still good! I sauteed 4 chopped scallions, a handful of baby carrots and some zucchini for about 5 minutes. I didn't want them completely softened. Then I added 2 cloves chopped garlic and sauteed for another minute. I added 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 rinsed and drained can cannellini beans, 2tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, and 1 qt vegetable stock. I brought this up to a boil and added about 1/2 bag of tortellini. I lowered the temperature to a simmer and cooked until the tortellini was floating, about 5 minutes. Yummy!
