Preparation

Directions

In a large stockpot over medium heat, heat the oil until it shimmers, about 2 minutes, then add the onion, celery, and carrots, saute for 4 minutes or until the vegetables are just soft. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the Italian herb paste, salt, red and black peppers. Stir and simmer in some love.

Add the broth, can of tomatoes, simmer for 5 minutes, add your choice of veggies, taste and add more salt, pepper and herbs as needed. On medium heat, add your choice of cooked protein for a couple minutes, just to warm.


As an option add fresh tortellini and cook for 3 minutes, add spinach and cook for one minute.
