Tortellini chicken soup

Made this amazing soup last week and I know I'll make it
again. Its super easy and healthy. Try it!

1	tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1/3	cup chopped green onions (about 5 medium)
1/3	cup julienne carrots (1 1/2x1/4x1/4 inch)
1	teaspoon finely chopped garlic
6	cups chicken broth (from two 32-oz cartons)
2	cups shredded deli rotisserie chicken (from 2- to 2 1/2-lb chicken)
1	cup frozen small cheese-filled tortellini
1/4	teaspoon ground nutmeg, if desired
1/8	teaspoon pepper
3	cups chopped fresh spinach

In 4 1/2- to 5-quart Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook onions, carrots and garlic in oil 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions are softened.

Stir in broth and chicken. Heat to boiling. Stir in tortellini; reduce heat to medium. Cover; cook 3 to 5 minutes or until tortellini are tender.

Stir in nutmeg, pepper and spinach. Cover; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until spinach is hot.

yumyum!

Yeehaw!!

For dinner tonight I made Cowboysoup. I would probably
describe it more as a stew than a soup, but I guess you could
put more water in it to make it more soupy..

So lets giddy up and get us some cowboy grub.

COWBOY SOUP

500 g / 1lb groundbeef/or turkey
1 yellow onion
1-2 carrots
1-3 st pieces of garlic (I used about 1 tbs of grated garlic)
Beef bullion
6 potatoes
1 red pepper
1 can (28oz) crushed tomatoes
2-3 dl (1 cup) shredded cabbage
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black pepper
2 tsp Cayenne pepper
2 cups of water

1.) Dice carrots and potatoes. Shred cabbage (I used a bag of coleslaw
veggies, so no shredding for me) and red pepper. Cut onion into small
pieces.

2.) Brown the meat w/ the onion and garlic

3.) Put remaining ingredients and the meat mixture in a big pot.
Let simmer for aprox 20-25mins (until potatoes are done) Taste and adjust the
spices after your liking (the recipe I followed didn't have any specific measurements
for the spices but this is how much I used).
