Dream Soup
So for those of you who don't know, I had a dream that I was cooking this...I could see everything in precise detail. When I woke up, I wrote down the ingredients and made it. Every one who has tried it loves it. :)
Ingredients
• Some unsalted butter
• 8 to 10 cloves garlic, chopped
• 4 cups (1 qt.) homemade or low salt chicken broth
• 10 oz. fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
• 12 or so tomatoes, cut over a bowl (you need the liquid)
• 2 or 3 handfuls spinach, washed &stemmed; coarsely chopped
• 8 to 10 leaves basil, coarsely chopped
• Grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
Directions
1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
3. Add the broth and bring to boil.
4. Add the tortellini and cook halfway, about 5 minutes for frozen, less for fresh.
5. Add the tomatoes and their liquid, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook just until the pasta is tender.
6. Stir in the spinach and basil and cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve sprinkled with the grated cheese.
