- 4 cups vegetable broth (to see how to make your own see notes)
- 2 cans diced tomatoes (14.5oz/400g cans) for fresh see notes
- 1 can chickpeas, (14.5oz/400g) drained and rinsed
- ¾ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon each fresh oregano, thyme, parsley and basil
- 9 oz fresh tortellini
- 2 cups kale, shredded
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the onion and garlic and cook until tender.
- Add the vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, chick peas, whole milk, parmesan cheese, herbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer.
- Add in the tortellini and kale. Simmer for 10 minutes and serve.
Notes
Tomatoes: if you would prefer to use freshly chopped tomatoes you can. For the same amount as found in the cans, you would need 10-12 tomatoes depending on size.
Store: in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freeze: to freeze, make the soup base up until the last step (i.e. do not add the tortellini and kale). Freeze the liquid in a freezer-friendly container. When ready remove the soup base from the freezer and allow it to thaw. Heat through, add the tortellini and kale and simmer for 10 minutes before serving.
