With the kid’s indoor sports season coming to an end and T-ball, softball and lacrosse starting up, a warm soup with pasta certainly does the trick to keep everyone happy especially after a tough cold practice during these cooler months. My husband Andy has fond memories growing up in Italy with many such soups. Garlic bread and a green salad will round out the meal. The soup is pretty enough for company as a winter meal starter.
2-tbls. Extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion chopped
3 cloves of garlic sliced
1 cup of diced carrots
Fresh ground pepper
6 cups of chicken broth
1 lb tortellini
1 cup of fresh peas
2 tsp. each of Chopped oregano and thyme leaves
1 tbsp. chopped flat leaf parsley
Freshly grated parmesan cheese
Heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add onion, garlic and carrots and cook until onions are translucent. Season to taste with pepper.
Add broth to pot bring to a boil. Add tortellini and follow package recommendation for cooking time.
During last 3 minutes of cooking add peas. Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients.
Garnish with parmesan.
