What's cookin' at the Ditto's Diner

I was thinking that I had put the soup ladle up for a few months but this afternoon it got quite chilly and I decided that soup and cornbread was for dinner. I actually am not a big soup eater so this means that the following recipe is really worth trying. The recipe was passed on to me by a friend but can't you claim a recipe after you have made it several times and altered it a bit?

Chicken Tortellini Soup

Saute: 1/4 c. onion and 1/2 c. celery in 2 T. water (I actually totally skipped this step)

Stir in: 2 c. milk
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can chicken broth or 2 c. chicken broth
4 boneless chicken breasts, cooked and cut up
1/4 tsp. basil
1/8 tsp. pepper
garlic salt to taste

Heat above and add one package of frozen tortellini (or ravioli noodles are good too) and cook according to the package.

Optional additions: 1 shredded carrot, or steamed broccoli, or steamed zucchini, or corn

I always claim recipes if I've worked them over -- sounds good!

I tried this recipe a few nights ago and it was quite tasty! I added zucchini and celery - and of course the kids picked it out and just had the chicken and tortellini. Oh well, I've got to try to get veggies in them somehow!
