The ingredients for Pasta Soup du Jour are:

1 T. olive oil
1 med. yellow onion, diced
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 c. cubed butternut squash (1/2" pieces)
14-oz. can diced tomatoes
14-oz. can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
4 c. chicken broth
2 c. spinach
2 10-oz. pkg. fresh frozen cheese tortellini
2 T. minced fresh basil
1/4 c. heavy whipping cream (optional)

Here is how you make Pasta Soup du Jour:

Heat olive oil over medium heat in soup pot. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, till softened and fragrant, 4-5 minutes. Add squash, tomatoes, beans, and broth and bring to a simmer. Cook over low flame till squash is tender, 8-10 minutes. Add spinach, tortellini, and basil and cook just till pasta has risen to the surface, 3-4 minutes. (If using dried tortellini instead of fresh, add it with the butternut squash instead, as it will take longer to cook than fresh). Temper cream with a little hot broth, then add to soup pot and stir to combine. Serve garnished with little Parmesan cheese crisps, if desired. Serving Size:?makes 8 servings
