Easy Tortellini Soup

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound ground turkey breast
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (15-ounces) Italian-seasoned diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (8-ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup frozen green beans, thawed
  • 1 package (20-ounce) refrigerated three-cheese tortellini (I love Buitoni Brand)
  • Loaf of crusty bread, heated and sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400°F.
  2. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and coat with vegetable cooking spray.
  3. Combine turkey, bread crumbs, sage, pepper and salt in a bowl, shape into 48 meatballs.
  4. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until browned.
  5. In a 3-quart saucepan combine broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and carrots. Boil, then reduce heat.
  6. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
  7. Cut up beans and stir into broth with tortellini.
  8. Cook, covered, 5 minutes more.
  9. Add meatballs to serve.
  10. Serve hot with crusty bread.
  11. Using fresh spring vegetables in our menus along with rib sticking foods will help you and your family get the work done. Soon the harsh touches of winter will be but a memory and spring gardens with produce and flowers will abound.
