Beginning with my Fast Chicken Soup Base it is easy to knock hours off of the cooking time usually needed for homemade chicken soup and still end up with soup that tastes even better than the 'from scratch' method. With a little creativity you can easily make two varieties of these soul-satisfying meals. Ingredients:
1 recipe fast chicken soup base |
1 (9 ounce) package refrigerated small cheese tortellini |
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes |
2 medium zucchini, diced |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley |
salt and freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Prepare Fast Chicken Soup Base. Bring to a simmer.
2. Add these, then simmer until tender, 10-20 minutes: 1 9-ounce package refrigerated small cheese tortellini; 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes; 2 medium zucchini, diced; 1 tsp. dried basil.
3. Before removing from heat, stir in: 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley.
4. Final touch: Add salt and pepper, to taste.
