Warm soothing soup is a perfect lunchbox idea for chilly fall and winter days — and it takes less than 15 minutes to make. And since almost every kid loves pasta, they'll gobble it up without even noticing the nutrition-packed broccoli.

Ingredients
Method
In saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; fry onion, carrot, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
Add stock and pasta sauce; bring to boil. Add tortellini; reduce heat, cover and simmer until pasta is almost tender but still firm, about 7 minutes.
Add broccoli and return to simmer; cook until piping hot and broccoli is tender-crisp, about 1 minute. Ladle into bowls; sprinkle with cheese.
