Tomato tortellini soup

Ingredients:

1 litre of chicken broth

1 package refrigerated tortellini (we suggest cheese filling)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half

1/3 cup good quality sun-dried tomato pesto

1/4 cup heavy cream

salt and pepper

red pepper flakes (optional)

chopped fresh parsley

Method:

1. In a medium pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil.

2. Add in the tortellini, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 7 minutes until pasta is almost tender.

3. Add in tomatoes and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until tomatoes have just softened.

4. Stir in the pesto and cream.

5. Taste and adjust with a little bit of salt and pepper, if necessary. And a pinch of cracked red pepper flakes for a little kick, if desired.

6. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with some fresh parsley.
