Yummmmm

There are two recipes I've been meaning to try. I'm hoping by the end of this week, I'll have made these two delicious looking creations. I'll share:

Spinach Tortellini Soup

3 small red potatoes
2 medium carrots, sliced
1 celery rib, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
2 Tbsp. plus 1-1/2 tsp. chicken bouillon granules
2 qt. water
3 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 pkg (10oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 tsp. dried parsley flakes
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
2 pkg (9oz each) refrigerated cheese tortellini

In a Dutch oven , combine the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, bouillon and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in chicken, spinach, parsley, garlic powder, oregano, pepper and salt; return to a boil. Add tortellini; cook, uncovered, for 7-9 minutes or until tortellini is tender.



Herb Bubble Bread

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 tsp. dried parsley flakes
1/4 tsp. dill weed
1/8 tsp. each: dried thyme, basil, and rosemary, crushed
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tsp. minced garlic
1 loaf (1 lb) frozen bread dough, thawed

In a small bowl, combine cheese and seasonings. In another bowl, combine butter and garlic; set aside. Divide dough into 16 pieces. Roll into balls. Coat balls in butter mixture, then dip in cheese mixture. Place in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 350 for 22-26 minutes or until golden brown. (Cover loosely with foil if top browns too quickly.) Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.


I now subscribe to about 4 different foody magazines, so I am always finding new recipes that I want to try. I can't wait to try this one. Maybe this weekend?
