Garlicky Tortellini Spinach And Tomato Soup


I first found this in fine cooking magazine and adapted it for my family. It's one of the few times i will be ready-made tortellini.

Steps


In a large saucepan , melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the garlic and onion and saute until fragrant , 2-3 minutes.
Add the chicken broth and water.
Bring to a boil.
Add the tortellini and cook halfway , about 5 minutes for frozen pasta , less if using fresh.
Add the tomatoes and their liquid , reduce the heat to a simmer and cook just until the pasta is tender , about 4 minutes.
Stir in the spinach and basil and cook until wilted , 1-2 minutes.
Meanwhile , whisk together the egg , parmesan cheese , salt and pepper.
Drizzle into the soup and cook , stirring about 3 minutes more.
Remove from heat and serve.
