As I mentioned previously, my friend, Branny, is hosting a Charity Souper Bowl to help donate money to the ASPCA. She and her husband, the Omnivore, have made it their New Year's Resolution to donate more to this wonderful cause!
They have asked fellow bloggers, family and friends to enter a soup recipe to Branny's blog, Branny Boils Over, including a picture of the soup and of the pet you wish to dedicate it to. They have offered to donate $1 for each entry received. Their goal is to reach a minimum of 100 entries and the last I heard, they were definitely getting closer!
I opted to make a Tortellini in Pesto Broth and it was, by far, the easiest and quickest soup I've ever made! It was also really delicious and versatile so you could add a variety of things to make it more hearty!
This soup is dedicated to sweet little Bailey! We adopted Bailey shortly after moving to South Carolina and she has been a joy in my life ever since! We got her at just 10 weeks old and didn't know much about her history or why she had been dropped off, but she won our hearts immediately with her sweet little face! Just look at her....how could you not love that face?!
come into her own. She has quite the personality and some funny little quirks!
We absolutely adore her and cannot imagine our life without her! For it being the first time that either of us had ever adopted, we sure lucked out and found the perfect addition to our little family!
Tortellini in Pesto Broth
Ingredients
4 cups Chicken Broth
2 cups Fresh Basil Leaves
1/3 Parmesan Cheese, grated
6 Tbsp. Olive Oil
2 Tbsp. Pine Nuts

Directions
In a large pot, heat the broth over med-high heat until boiling.
Meanwhile, place the basil, Parmesan, olive oil, pine nuts and garlic into a food processor and process until smooth. Whisk 1/3 cup of the pesto into the hot broth, reserving the remaining pesto for another use.
Reduce the heat to medium and add in the tortellini; cook until tender (about 7 minutes).

OK...I just teared up at the thought of that beautiful little pup getting dropped off for no reason! She is darling and looks so happy! (the soup looks great too!)
Aw, thanks Stephanie! Yeah, it's very hard for me to go to any animal shelter because I just want to rescue them all! It was hard enough just taking her and not the others that were there with her! She's pretty special to us!
