Tortellini Kielbasa Soup by Angela

Kathleen really wanted soup for dinner one night this week, so I made this soup totally off the cuff. And it was really good.

Ingredients:

1/2 onion-chopped

2 Tbsp. butter

2 stalks celery-sliced

1 can chicken broth

Frozen peas (about 1 cup)

Frozen, sliced carrots (about 1 cup)

1 Kielbasa (or other sausage if desired)-cut in chunks

Salt and Pepper to taste

Tortellini (I used the bigger sized package in the refrigerator section of store with 3 cheeses in it)

Saute onion and celery in butter in a pot. After vegetables are tender, add chicken broth, peas, carrots, and Kielbasa. Cook until everything is hot all the way through (10-20 minutes).

Cook tortellini according to package directions. At this point you can add them to the soup, or we served them on the side and mixed them in our individual bowls since we have picky kids. But it also stored really well with the soup separate from the tortellini. The noodles didn't get soggy when I reheated it and ate it for lunch the next day.
