Over the past week, the weather has turned cooler and the first golden leaves have started to fall. Like most folks, when this happens I start thinking about comfort food which always includes warm soups and stews. This new soup idea had been brewing in my head for several weeks and the time was right to put it to the test.
First off, I wanted a rich, flavorful broth and knew that would come together with some simple vegetables like carrots, onions and celery. Then the second layer of flavor would come from garlic and dried herbs. The next few steps is where the “power play” comes in. I used store bought rotesserie chicken, packaged tortellini and canned beans to give my soup some heartiness. I had 2 jars of homemade stock on hand but needed more for my soup, so, 1 box of store bought broth was also added.
After a bit of chopping, a few minutes of simmering and a splash of bright lemon juice, my soup was done. It’s a simple, comforting dish that’s also easy on my budget. It’s going on my “favorites” list and will be especially good when the sniffles hit during the chilly winter months.
