  • Quick & Delicious Tortellini & Zucchini Soup

    This recipe makes a great first course for company. Or, add a salad, and some fresh Italian Bread for a quick, and tasty dinner!

    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    2 large carrots, finely chopped
    1 large onion, diced
    2 cloves minced garlic
    1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
    2 14-once cans of your favorite vegetable, or chicken broth
    2 medium zucchini, diced
    9 once (about 2 cups) fresh, or frozen tortellini
    4 plum tomatoes diced
    2 tablespoons, red wine vintager

    Heat oil in Dutch oven, over heat. Add carrots and onions; stir. Cover and cook, (stirring occasionally) until the onion is soft, and just beginning to brown....6-7 minutes. Stir in garlic and rosemary and cook for about 1 minute.

    Stir in broth and zucchini, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until zucchini begins to soften.....about 3 minutes.

    Add tortellini and tomatoes and simmer until the tortellini are plump and the tomatoes start to break down.....6-10 minutes. Stir vinegar into the hot soup, just before serving.

    Makes 6, 1/12 cup servings

    BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.

    Sounds good, and easy? You're talking to a non-cooker here.

          Luanne,

          Luanne,

          It is real easy and pretty fast to make. It's also good re-heated, so you can have left-overs for lunch.

          I read on another thread that your husband does the cooking......I'm a bit jealous...... My husband can't even boil water. I do all the cooking, all the time. I wish he had some cooking knowledge, or the desire to learn. I think it would be fun preparing food for the holidays together, or a dinner party.

          Frank, that sounds good. Although not very good for you, sausage is one of my favorite foods. I think it can add flavor to lots of recipes.........

            Yep, I know I'm lucky. When we were first dating Steve told me he hoped he wasn't hurting my feelings, but he liked his cooking better than mine. Heck, didn't hurt MY feelings at all. So, the deal was he cooked and I cleaned up. Once the dds got old enough they started doing the clean up. So.........what do I do? Oh yeah, I plan the vacations.

            We don't prepare meals together as Steve really doesn't like other people in HIS kitchen, and our kitchen really isn't laid out well enough for too many people. One of our mini summer vacations this year was a few days in the Napa Valley so that Steve and the girls could take a two-day cooking class and my mom and I could "spa" and shop.

            I think I'll try this recipe when Steve is out of town over the next couple of weeks. I think older dd will like it too.

                Well, this was the "next time" around for me. Of course #1 also cooked, just not every night.
