Vegetables and pasta make a winning combination in this substantial soup. Look for fresh tortellini in the deli section at your grocery store. You can use the leftover canned beans for lunch the next day either tossed in a salad or added to rice pilaf.
Ingredients
Preparation
In large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook chopped carrots, onion, garlic, dried basil and bay leaf, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until onion is softened.
Add chicken stock and tomatoes, breaking up with back of spoon; bring to boil. Add tortellini; return to boil.
Reduce heat to medium-high; cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until pasta is almost tender but firm. Stir in beans and season with pepper; heat until simmering. Discard bay leaf. Serve sprinkled with cheese.
