Healthy One-Dish Meal

Healthy One-Dish Meal
Tortellini Tomato Spinach Soup is the healthy one-dish meal that I suggest. That is because the ingredients used are extremely healthy. They are mostly vegetables and fruit such as tomatoes and spinach.











Ingredients:
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup minced onion (about 1/2 small onion)
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 4 -6 cups chicken broth or 4 -6 cups vegetable broth
• 1 (14 ounce) can whole tomatoes, coarsely chopped
• 1 (9 ounce) packagefreshtortellini or 1 (9 ounce) package dried tortellini
• kosher salt
• cracked black pepper
• 10 ounces fresh spinach or 10 ounces frozen spinach, defrosted and chopped
• 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)
The method of cooking the Tortellini Tomato Spinach Soup is also healthy as it only involves boiling the mixture and not for example, deep-frying.
Steps:
• 1 In a soup pot, heat olive oil over medium high heat.
• 2 Saute the onion and garlic, stirring often until onions are translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• 3 Add broth and tomatoes, turn heat up to high, and bring to a boil.
• 4 Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions.
• 5 When tortellini is almost done, add spinach and taste, adjusting seasonings with salt and pepper.
• 6 Serve immediately.
• 7 Garnish each serving with a sprinkling of Parmesan.
