Quick, Easy and (most importantly)...Kid Friendly:)

Last week I tried a new recipe every day. The end result: One (that's right, only ONE) recipe that everyone loved (well, except Kya...).
So, I thought I'd share:

Chicken Broccoli Tortellini Soup
1tbsp olive oil
1 small onion
1 can chicken broth (14.5 ounces)
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 pkg (10 ounces) frozen cut broccoli in cheese sauce (I used fresh broccoli and added a couple spoonfuls of cheese whiz)
1 pkg (9 ounces) frozen or refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini
1 cup cubed cooked chicken
1 large roma tomato chopped (1/2 cup) (I left out the tomato because of my non-tomato loving family, but I bet it would be good with it)
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1. Heat oil in 2-qt saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook onion in oil about 2 min. stirring frequently, until crisp-tender.

2. Stir in broth, water, Italian seasoning, broccoli in cheese sauce and tortellini. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally and breaking up broccoli.

3. Stir in chicken. Cook about 4 minutes (more if using fresh broccoli), stirring occasionally, until tortellini is tender. Stir in tomato. Top each serving with 1 tbsp cheese.

Makes 4 servings (320 cal/each)

I found this picture of "baby" Tyson eating one of his favorite things...sand--gross!
