I have been a little behind in posting new healthy recipes, but I have been cooking them and taking pictures. So I have a few new ones to share from the last week or two. This recipe can be vegetarian or also tastes good with sausage, if I have extra bratwurst from a BBQ or something, I always slice it and freeze it and add it to soups or pasta dishes later on. This soup is good with or without the sausage addition and definitely healthier without it. Click on the image to view close up, right click to save to your computer or print.
My hubby does not like the cabbage flavor in this soup, so that is optional too. I love cabbage, so go with what you like. I adapted this recipe from here:
http://www.food.com/recipe/tortellini-tomato-spinach-soup-35988 the recipe link is a much simpler version- less ingredients-so if you are in a hurry this recipe is good too. I just like it heartier, so I added this and that. If you leave out the sausage and Parmesan cheese, I think this is an A on the health-o-meter, the only thing that isn't totally good for you is the tortellini, but I think everything else makes up for it. This soup is good with a roll or breadsticks, I was short on time so I just thawed frozen Rhodes Rolls to go with the soup, which is a great way to have hot fresh rolls in a pinch if you do not have time to make them yourself.
Also, a note on seasonings- I really hardly ever measure them out, I just sprinkle a generous amount across the pot or pan of what ever I am cooking as a general rule of thumb, so if I do not specify a measurement on spices, default to this same technique. Happy Healthy Eating!
