Delicious soup that is a family favorite. Found it in the newspaper a few years ago. Usually use Progresso Italian bread crumbs. For color I grate one or two carrots into the pot when I pour in the broth. Servings are main-course servings. Ingredients:
2 (48 ounce) cans chicken broth |
1 lb ground beef, thawed |
1 egg |
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs |
1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed and drained |
1 (16 ounce) package frozen cheese tortellini |
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste |
1/2 teaspoon pepper, to taste |
grated parmesan cheese (optional) |
Directions:
1. Pour cans of broth into large soup pot.
2. Cover and heat over medium heat until simmering.
3. Meanwhile, mix ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, salt and pepper.
4. Form into 3/4 balls.
5. Drop into simmering broth and cook through, about 5 minutes.
6. Add frozen tortellini and cook another 7 minutes.
7. Add spinach and heat a few more minutes.
8. If you'd like, top with grated Parmesan.
