Found this in Cooking Light Magazine. My husband has grown to love fresh spinach, but it can be substituted with mustard greens or escarole if you prefer a more pronounced flavor. Although categorized as a soup, you can decrease the amount of broth and water and serve as a more traditional ragout.

Rustic Italian Tortellini Soup
Very Good 4.8/5

This meal comes together pretty fast. It's a very hearty meal, that goes great with a salad.
It's a versatile recipe in that you can add additional vegetables or even a can of drained and rinsed cannelini beans, for more protein.
