I completed several pieces of Valentine's Day jewelry and wanted to share some of the designs with you. As always, you can find the designs in my Etsy and EBay stores. (I post in both arenas - when the item sells in one shop, I remove it from the other.) Here they are:

Chicken Spinach Tortellini Soup Recipe
We've had unseasonably warm weather all winter until today. We had a freezing cold drizzle that lasted throughout the day. It's my favorite weather for making homemade soup, and that's exactly what I did when I came home from work today. I had some chicken breasts left over from dinner last night, and thought they would be the perfect addition for my soup. NOTE: For the diet-conscious individual, one cup of this soup contains only 194 calories, 4 grams of fat, 25 carbohydrates and 14.5 grams of protein. Satisfying, delicious AND good for you! My kind of recipe!
Chicken Spinach Tortellini Soup
Ingredients:
Water, 8 cups
Better Than Boullion Chicken Base, 4 teaspoons (if you desire a less salty taste, reduce base to 3 teaspoons)
Onion, 1 small, chopped
Leftover chicken breast (no skin) - 3 breasts (about 7 ounces), cut into bite-sized pieces
Spinach, frozen, 1 package (10 oz)
Tortellini, pasta with cheese filling, 3 cups (8 ounces)
Directions:
Put water, chicken base, onion and chicken into a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium heat. Continue to simmer until the onion begins to turn translucent, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, put frozen spinach into a microwaveable bowl with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high heat until spinach is hot, about 8-9 minutes.
Uncover spinach and add it to the soup mixture. Add tortellini. Bring mixture to a boil, then simmer for another 15 minutes until tortellini is cooked all the way through.
Serving Size: Makes 7 1-cup servings
Enjoy!!!
