SWISS CHARD SOUP WITH TORTELLINI AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES



Swiss Chard Soup With Tortellini and Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

This is a great, flavorful vegetable soup, which is very hearty with the addition of the tortellini. I like to throw the onion carrots and squash in the food processor to get them really small- my husband likes it chunkier. I also think it's a little more flavorful to use vegetable broth instead of water.
