Tortellini Pesto Soup

 

I have discovered a brand of tortellini that makes this soup utterly

delectable. If you can find

*Tommaso's Pasta - Potato & Garlic Tortellini, I heartily recommend using

it for this soup. If you don't have access to it, use plain or spinach

cheese-filled tortellini.

 

5 cups vegetable broth

1 summer squash, cut into small pieces

1 zuchinni squash, cut into small pieces

1 large carrot, cut into small pieces

1 9 oz. package of tortellini

2 -3 TBS pesto

1 Lemon or lemon juice

Black pepper to taste

 

1. In a 2-quart saucepan, heat broth and vegetables until boiling.

2. Add tortellini and cook at a gentle boil for about 4 minutes, or until

done.

3. Remove from heat and add pesto, a squeeze of lemon, and black pepper to

taste.

 

OPTIONAL GARNISH: A sprinkling of Italian cheese (mozzarella, parmesan, or

romano) and a few

croutons finish this soup beautifully.

 

Serves 4.
