GARLIC-BASIL TORTELLINI SOUP

Garlic-Basil Tortellini Soup image

I created the recipe through trial and error. I make it with vegetable broth, but feel free to use chicken broth if you prefer. It is a quick fix with frozen pasta and canned beans, it's sure to heat up the chilliest of winter nights.-Linda Kees, Boise, Idaho

2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon butter
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth

2-1/2 cups frozen cheese tortellini

Steps:

In a large saucepan, saute garlic in butter until tender. Stir in the broth, water, basil and pepper. Bring to a boil. Stir in tortellini.
