  3. Timely Tortellini Soup
    A Desperation Dinner recipe
    Serves 6

    1 tsp. olive oil
    1 lg. onion
    2 minced garlic
    1 pkg. (8 oz.) fresh sliced mushrooms
    2 cans (14 ½ oz each) chicken broth
    1 can (14 ½ oz.) seasoned diced tomatoes, such as garlic& onion
    1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
    ½ tsp. dried basil
    1 bag (12 oz.) frozen cheese tortellini
    Grated Parmesan cheese to taste, optional

    Heat the oil on medium heat in a 4 ½ qt. Dutch oven or soup pot. Meanwhile, peel and coarsely chop the onion, adding it to the pot as you chop. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes.
    Add the mushrooms and cook until they begin to release their liquid, about 2 minutes. Meanwhile, open the broth and tomato cans.
    Add the broth and tomatoes, raise the heat to high, cover the pot and bring the soup to a boil. Lift the lid briefly to add the Worcestershire and basil.
    When the broth comes to a rolling boil, add the tortellini. When the broth comes back to a boil, continue to cook for 3 – 4 minutes or just until the tortellini are tender. Serve at once, passing Parmesan cheese at the table to sprinkle on top, if desired.
