In this episode of Nutrition with Lorelei, Joe and Lorelei make tortellini soup to celebrate Souptember. Learn all about healthy home cooking and nutrition in the kitchen with a dietitian.
Oh, and here's the recipe:
TORTELLINI SOUP
1-2 Tb olive oil
1 onion, chopped
minced garlic (I don't know, 4-6 cloves)
couple cups shredded cabbage
1/3 package soy chorizo
1 tsp salt
~ tsp each oregano and thyme
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can garbanzo beans
1/2 can tomato paste
4-5 cups broth or water
1 package fresh spinach tortellini
couple handfuls fresh baby spinach
optional: chopped fresh parsley
In a large soup pot saute onion in olive oil. Then add garlic. Then add cabbage. Add salt and cook down a bit. Add soy chorizo and herbs and mix in with the other ingredients. Then add tomatoes and beans. Mix the tomato paste in with the broth or water and add all the liquid. Bring to a gentle boil. Add tortellini and cook 3-4 more minutes. Toss in spinach (and optional parsley) at the end and let it wilt before serving.
