Tortellini Soup
Cut in half and de seed two large or three medium tomatoes. Place cut side down on a cookie sheet and broil for at least 10 mins. Set aside to cool. Once cool slip off the skins and dice. Or, you can use 1 can of diced tomatoes in juice.
Saute two cloves of garlic (crushed) and some finely diced onion in 1 tablespoon olive oil.
When the garlic and onions are tender add 1 box of chicken stock (Can use vegetable stock if desired) and bring to slow boil.
Take 1 small zucchini and cut into fine pieces add to chicken stock. Add the tomatoes and their juice, plus 1 small can of tomato juice. Cook for about 10 minutes.
Add the tortellini and cook for the length of time it says on the package. Fresh cheese tortellini is marvelous, but dried could be used as well.
Add dash of oregano and basil to taste.
Serve with garlic bread or cheese bread.
