Tortellini in Pesto Broth


I was inspired by this Panera recipe. This soup is quick and easy to prepare and was perfect for a cold winter's day.

1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tbs grated parmesan cheese
1/2 onion chopped
1 carrot chopped
1 stick of celery chopped
5 c low sodium chicken broth
1 c water
340g package of fresh supermarket tortellini
1/3 cup tomato pesto sauce

Saute onion, carrot, celery in oil for about 5 minutes. Add the broth and water and bring to a boil. Add tortellini
and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in pesto, parmesan cheese, oregano and basil. Enjoy!
