Ingredients

3 cans (14.5 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken stock

1 bay leaf

1 small head escarole, cleaned, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces

1 pound cheese tortellini

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

In a large stockpot, combine chicken stock, 2 cups water and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Add escarole, and cook, stirring constantly, until wilted, about 15 seconds.

Add tortellini, and cook until they float to the top, 4 to 5 minutes. Discard bay leaf, and season soup with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
