Garden Ravioli Soup

Hi Bloggers! I am a frequent visitor of this blog, but this is my first post. It is a really easy soup that is perfect for a cold day.

Garden Ravioli Soup

Ingredients:

6 Cups Chicken Broth

1/4 Tsp Italian Seasoning

2 Garlic Cloves, minced

1/2 cup onion, chopped

1/2 lb sausage, browned and drained (I like to use spicy sausage to give the soup a little heat)

1/2 cup carrots sliced

1 can (14 oz) chopped stewed tomatoes

1 (9 oz) package cheese-filled tortellini (frozen or fresh)

1/2 cup spinach, trim stems

Fresh Parmesan cheese, grated

(I also like to add 1 zucchini, chopped)

Directions:

In large saucepan brown sausage, then saute onion and garlic. Add broth, Italian seasoning, carrots, tomatoes (and zucchini, if desired). Cook over medium-high heat, heat to a boil. Add tortellini, reduce heat to medium. Cook 15 minutes or until pasta is done, stirring occasionally. Add spinach at five minutes remaining. Sprinkle with fresh parmesan.
