Comfort. The definition for comfort is to give strength or hope to. To me, this is the very definition of a girlfriend. Someone who is there for you when you need a little bit of encouragement. A person who will listen when things get tough. When we think of this word, at least one person should pop into mind. We all need someone who can be there for us.Today I want to share one of my all-time favorite comfort food recipes - an old standby for the days I feel down in the dumps. Although I am not Giada, (much to my husbands dismay), this is an easy Italian inspired soup. It is my spin on chicken noodle soup and is great for a cold night.
Tempting Tortellini Soup
Serves: 6
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 Tbsp. margarine
1 cup cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!)
2 cans chicken broth
1 (8 oz.) pkg. fresh or thawed frozen tortellini
1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen spinach, thawed
1 (16 oz.) can stewed tomatoes, undrained
coarsley grated Parmesan cheese
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, cook and stir garlic in margarine for 2 to 3 minutes. Add broth, chicken, and tortellini. Heat to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add spinach and tomatoes. Simmer an additional 5 minutes. Serve topped with Parmesan Cheese.
Girlfriend to girlfriend, I hope this recipe offers you a little comfort tonight!
