Tomato and Spinach Soup with Tortellini
Yes, another soup recipe from Isaac's. But it's good and why not, anyway? I did this from memory so the quantities are not exact. This is so easy and fast and makes great leftovers for lunch. You could make this in your crockpot but it's not the kind of thing where you could dump all of it in along with the tortellini and leave it for 6 hours or so b/c your pasta will probably fall apart. If you're going to be home, then add the tortellini an hour or so before serving.
1 package tortellini (I used cheese and roasted garlic)
3 large tomatoes, chopped (you can use canned but we still have fresh 'maters at the market)
1 medium onion, small dice
1 small carrot, small dice
1 stalk of celery, small dice
fist-full of a combination of thyme, oregano, parsley and basil (or to taste)
S&P
46 oz (give or take) of tomato juice
2-3 cloves of garlic
1 large pkg of baby spinach, roughly chopped
2 T o.o.
Saute onions, carrot and celery until softened and add garlic. Add spinach and stir until mostly wilted. Add remaining ingredients EXCEPT tortellini and bring to a boil. Add tortellini and cook according to pkg directions (you could cook them separately but why bother dirtying another pot?). Serve with crusty bread and a sprinkling of parmesan.
