I had some frozen tortellini in the freezer looking for a home the other day and I found a wonderful place for them. It comes together quickly and easily and I always have everything on hand for it, except for the zucchini and squash. I served it with a green southwestern style for a simple dinner.
SOUTHWEST CHICKEN TORTELLINI CHOWDER
3 cans chicken broth
3/4 cup bottled salsa
1 zucchini, chunked
1 yellow squash, chunked
1 pkg frozen or fresh tortellini
1 1/2 cup cooked, diced chicken
1 can evaporated milk
S&P to taste
fresh cilantro for garnish, optional
Combine broth, salsa, and vegetables and cook until almost done. Add chicken and tortellini. Lightly boil 3-5 minutes until tortellini and veggies are done and then stir in the can of milk. Turn heat down, DO NOT BOIL once you have added the milk. S&P to taste. Garnish with cilantro if desired.
