Tortellini Bean Soup
* 1/2 cup chopped bacon
* 1 clove of garlic
* 2 cans of kidney beans (red and white)
* 1 can crushed tomatoes (28 oz.)
* 1 can chicken broth (32 oz.)
* 1 can escarole (18.5 oz)
* 1 package of cheese tortellini
Mince the garlic, chop the bacon (trimming the fat) In a pot put some olive oil and add the bacon and garlic. Place the chicken broth and escarole as well as the crushed tomatoes into the pot. Simmer for 1/2 hour. Then drop the tortellini into the pot. Add the beans with 5 minutes left to cooking the soup otherwise they'll get too soggy.
