Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

4 cups 948mlLow sodium chicken broth - or vegetable broth
12 oz 340gTortellini - meat-filled, or any cheese or
  Meat stuffed fresh or frozen pasta
2 cups 292g / 10ozBroccoli flowerets - **note
1 1/2 tablespoons 22mlGreen onions - chopped, or chives
1 tablespoon 15mlMarjoram - total mixed with
  Sage - mixed with
  Oregano

Recipe Instructions

*NOTE: Original recipe used 2 T extra virgin olive oil.

I omitted the oil completely and added the herbs and onions into the soup as it was cooking.

**NOTE: I didn't have any broccoli in the house so I used frozen corn.

Pour broth into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add tortellini and cook 1

- 2 min or, if frozen, according to package directions. Add broccoli and cook over high heat about 5 min. (You are cooking broccoli to crisp-tender stage as you finish cooking pasta.)

Meanwhile, mix remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Serve soup in bowls, topping each serving with a drizzle of the flavored oil.

Serves 4

This is a fabulous soup...I really enjoyed it with the corn.
