Sunday Spinach Tortellini

Sunday's are an odd day to fix meals and eat. Well at least I think so. The three hour block schedule makes it hard for me to plan effective dinners. I will attribute this to having to plan ahead and then actually carry out the plans before going to church. Otherwise after church I am so hungry (or I think I am) that it is really hard not to just snack the whole rest of the day. Crock-Pots are great for this, but as I said before, you have to actually put something in them to cook before you want to eat it.

Today was not too bad because I had a plan. I concocted my plan about Wednesday. The plan was I really like spinach tortellini soup, so I will make it on Sunday. Easy enough. Luckily for everyone involved it turned out really good and I am now full and have saved myself from snacking all day (not a good idea if your watching your weight).

Spinach Tortellini Soup

3 cans vegetable or chicken broth
2 cans petite diced tomatoes (I like the italian style)
Garlic powder to season
2-3 cups coarsely chopped spinach
1 package cheese tortellini

Bring the broth and tomatoes to a simmer in a pot. Season with garlic powder.
Add spinach and tortellini. Continue simmering until tortellini is done (about 2-3 minutes).
