Do You Eat Soup?

I like soup in the winter. Hot & sour soup is better than chicken noodle when I'm sick, IMO.
 
@VolNExile @hmanvolfan as promised:
Creamy Parm Tomato Tortellini Soup

Ingredients (with my alterations – can be cut in half)

  • 1/2 stick (4 tbsp.) salted butter
  • Med. onion, diced
  • kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 5-6 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp. red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 c. flour
  • 2 cartons chicken broth
  • 1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 small can tomato paste
  • 4 c. cheese tortellini (I use 20 pkg of Buitoni)
  • 3/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan
  • 3 c. spinach, packed (6 or 8 oz bag of baby spinach)
  • 1 c. cream
  • 2 tbsp. basil, thinly sliced for garnish


Directions

  • In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions, black pepper and salt, cook until translucent.
  • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
  • Add Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes and flour and whisk to combine; cook 1 more minute.
  • Add tomato paste and cook for about 1 minute more.
  • Add broth and tomatoes bring to a boil. You can stop here if you aren’t ready to eat within about 10-15 minutes.
  • Add tortellini and return to a boil then simmer until tortellini is cooked, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Add the cream and Parmesan and stir to combine.
  • Add spinach and let wilt.
  • Garnish with basil and serve
 
Bump

You probably do, you little p****. Oh, what's that? You want some chicken noodle? Do you have the sniffles? You like cream of broccoli? Is that how you keep your slight frame?

Chili = great. Stew = fine. Chowder = OK. Pozole = if mamacita offers it. Any other hot liquid meal makes you a p****.

Thank you, this looks awesome! It’s going on the dinner plan list PDQ. I love every ingredient, and it’s pretty obvious that it demands a nice glass or five of vino to go along.

It makes enough for a large family, cuts in half fairly well.
