There must be a thousand tortellini soup recipes on the internet.
Maybe even a million.
But, I wanted a 15-minute alfredo-based creamy tortellini soup.
And….guess what?
Not there.
So I took a 3-hour crock pot version of what I had in mind and shaved it down to 15 minutes
start to slurp.
I mean…….no disrespect to crock pots….but 3 hours?
Huuuum. No.
Fasten your seat belts soup lovers.
Cuz…
Here we go.
*****************************************************
Step 1: Get your veggie on.
Chop…..
One large onion
8-ounce package of white mushrooms (using presliced saves even more time)
3 garlic cloves (again….using jarred saves even more time)
Step 2: Saute….in your fav soup pot..
3 to 5 tablespoonfuls cooking oil
And the chopped veggies
Now…see that spinach sitting over there….in the bowl? Give it a quick wash and drain. But, do not add it to the pot just yet…..will circle back to it later.
Step 3: Tort time
But…you can add….
4 cups water……turn up the heat and bring it to a rapid boil
2 Tablespoonfuls chicken bouillon granules
Sprinkle of pepper – to taste
When the water boils…..dump in a bag of FROZEN cheese tortellini (mine was 19 ounces)
Step 4: Go green
When the tortellini begins to plump…..don’t be embarrassed…..everybody’s does.
Turn down the heat so the torts don’t stick…..I’d say to about 4 or 5 on the dial.
Then, dump all of that nice, clean spinach in on top. I used 4 ounces….add more if you really like spinach.
Cover.
And let it wilt, let it wilt, let it wilt.
Step 5: Say hello to Al
Meanwhile. crack open your favorite standard size jar (16 ounces) of alfredo sauce
…and dump it in. That’s right. All of it.
Stir it around and then add…
1/4 cup Half and Half
Step 6: Finish line
You did it…over the finish line… in a record 15……
Oh…….and sprinkle parmesan on the top……if you like.
*******************************************************
Applause. Applause. Applause.
Seriously.
…..Don’t stop….
………I love applause………
LOL
No….
……seriously……
I really do.
LOL.
Until next time…
Happy slurping,
Suz

This recipe was inspired by BHG’s Creamy Tortellini, but the 15-Minute ideas are original.
