It's soup weather, so let's make soup! This tortellini soup is hands down the best soup you'll ever have and it only takes a few minutes to make. Oh yeah, it only has 4 ingredients!
Tortellini Soup
You'll need:
5 cups of vegetable broth.
1 (14.5) can of Diced Italian Seasoned Tomatoes (Look hard they should be there. )
1 (9 ounce) pkg. of refrigerated, small cheese tortellini. (If you are going for vegan, you can use vegan ravioli.)
3 cups of baby spinach chopped or torn into large pieces.
In a large pot bring to boil broth, tomatoes and tortellini. Reduce heat and boil lightly until tortellini is soft and fully cooked (about 10 minutes).
Then stir in spinach until it is wilted (about 30 sec. to a minute)
Season with about 1 teaspoon of garlic salt and pepper to taste. (The Picketts are garlic salt crazy, so we are never without it. I use it a lot in Pickett's Pearl's recipes 'cause it is an easy way to get garlic into a dish without counting it as an ingredient:) (Serves 6)
Optional: Serve topped with Parmesan cheese. You can also add cooked italian sausage but not necessary.

Fun Saying:
It's time for a fun saying: "I was flying by the seat of my pants. " What a funny way of saying: "I was winging it." There I go, using one metaphor to explain another. I guess when it comes to being in a hurry and making things happen as best as we can, flying is usually involved. (My daughter, Carly, is my illustrator.
About the Blog Posts
I’m going to be posting "Pickett’s Pearls" every other Wednesday. Each time I will be posting what my taste buds think is an awesome four-ingredient (or less) recipe. Some of these recipes I got from friends or family and some are my own concoctions. I then test each one on my husband (needless to say, he's behind the project!)
Also, I will be sharing a helpful or creative idea (usually for the home.) Learning to make special napkin folds or making simple earrings, for example, are two ideas you'll see in future blog posts.
Fun Sayings
If that’s not enough cool stuff, I will be throwing out a "Fun Saying" every now and then like the one above. There are so many random sayings that we can laugh about.
Send Me Your Ideas
I really want this blog to be a group effort. I want to hear about your four-ingredient recipes and your helpful/creative ideas. All you have to do is fill out the Contact page. I will then test the idea and if it "cuts the mustard", (ha- ha) I will then share your idea, your name and where you are from. (Unless, of course, you want to keep that under wraps.)
