Tortellini Soup

Tortellini soup is one of our favorite quick and easy dinners. Especially if you use jarred sauce and dried tortellini (we use the kind from Trader Joes).

1 regular size jar marinara pasta sauce
4 cups chicken broth
1 package dried or fresh tortellini
Diced zucchini and chopped Italian herbs, optional

Mix pasta sauce and chicken broth and heat to boil. Add tortellini and cook according to package directions. Add herbs and zucchini near the end of cooking time.

The only issue with this soup is that the leftover tortellini soaks up a lot of the liquid, so it's best the first day. We still like the leftovers, it's just not as soupy.
