Ingredients
-2 tsp butter (I used smart balance light, walmart version)
-2 stalks celery, chopped
-1 small onion, chopped
-1 large carrot, chopped
-2 cloves garlic, minced
-8 cups chicken broth (or I use boullion granules)
-3 cups water
-26oz cheese tortellini (she only used 18oz, but I love it!)
-1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
-1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
-2 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
-2 Tbsp grated Parmesan
Directions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add your chopped celery, onion, carrot, and garlic and saute until vegetables are tender. Add the chicken broth and water and bring to a boil. Add salt, pepper, nutmeg, and tortellini. Reduce heat to medium and cook until tortellini is cooked al dente. Turn off the heat and add spinach and parmesan. Stir until spinach wilts and serve.
If you don't like spinach, add 2 Tbsp fresh Italian Parsley instead.
I figured 4 Weight Watcher points for 1 1/2 cups but it depends on your tortellini brand and how much you use.
