I have four adult children, and only one is interested in cooking. You would think with my husbands obvious love of baking, and my love of cooking some of it would have rubbed off on all the children. But it was one son who has shown any interest in cooking. He started cooking with me when he was very small. He always wanted to know what was that, how do you do that, why do it that way. So I showed him and he has become a very good cook over the years. No…he is not a professional chef. He is a home cook who enjoys making his own variations on recipes he finds. This is one he found, and it is very good! He made it for me a couple of weeks ago the whole family loved it.

2 tablespoon of olive oil
1 bunch green onions (5-6)
1 red or green bell pepper sliced into thin strips
4 oz button mushrooms sliced and cleaned
1 large clove of garlic minced
6 cups fat-free reduced sodium chicken broth
1 ½ cup cooked and shredded chicken
2 cups of thinly sliced greens, such as spinach or Swiss Chard
1 package frozen cheese or mushroom tortellini
Salt and Pepper to taste
¾ to 1 cup shredded blended cheese, such as Sargento Mozzarella with sun dried tomatoes and basil
In large stockpot, heat the olive oil. Add green onions and bell pepper, and saute’, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook, stirring often 2-3 minutes.
Add chicken broth; cover and bring to a boil
Add the shredded chicken, spinach, and tortellini. Cover partly and simmer until the spinach and tortellini are tender about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle individual servings with cheese.
