Chicken Tortellini

Tis' the season to snuggle up and enjoy a steaming bowl of soup.  This is a recipe I have made for years, I got it from the noon news and it was a keeper.  Enjoy!

Chicken Tortellini Soup
(serves 8-10)

6 cups water
3 cups chicken broth
1 can Cream of Chicken soup
2 cups diced chicken
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup sliced carrots
2 tbsp. apple juice concentrate
2 cloves minced garlic
1/2 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. oregano
7 oz. fresh cheese tortellini
9 oz. broccoli

Combine everything but tortellini and broccoli.  Bring to boil and simmer for 30 minutes uncovered.  Add remaining ingredients.  Simmer 10-15 minutes.  Serve with parmesan cheese.

Tips:  I used dried pasta and get good results.  Also, check out my chicken soup mix recipe for a healthy, inexpensive substitute for the can of soup.  You can even skip the step of cooking it!  Don't forget some warm french bread too!
