Tortellini Soup

On the same lines as the previous recipe involving Tortellini. This one my mom made today...

Ingredients:

- 1 bag of Tortelinni Barilla brand (3 cheese)

- Swanson Chicken Broth (1 box)

- 1 can italian diced tomatoes

- Canolini beans drained

- 1/2 tbsp. basil

- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar


Directions:

1. Cook Torteillini in broth
2. After 5 minutse add tomatoes, beans and basil.
3. Continue to simmer until tortellini is tender, add vinegar.

My mom found that the amount of Tortellini the package had compared to the amout of broth was to much.. so she recommends using one bag of tortellini for TWO batches of this. So double all the ingredients but the tortellini noodles.

ENJOY!! IT WAS YUMMY!!!!!

Seasoned Greenbeans

*click image for larger view*

I love well seasoned green beans. I enjoy both southern style ones and asian style beans. I prefer my greenbeans with some crunch to them. Travis prefers them softer... so I try to cook them inbetween :-)

One way I season them though is to add "Tastefully Simples Seasoning Salt" (google it if your interested in purchasing it). I then add a dash of kikomon soy sauce. Not sure on the spelling of that brand :-)

It adds a very nice flavor!

I dont really have exact amts. to give you. I just throw it together...
Add however much of the season salt as you want and soy sauce. All depends on your taste :-)

Enjoy!
