Vegetable and Pasta Soup
with basil / zucchini / mushrooms

Active: 35 min Total: 35 min
Sun-dried tomatoes have rich umami flavor which makes a great foundation for this simple tomato soup.
Smarts: If you can find gluten-free tortellini, use it in the soup instead of plain pasta - it will give the finished dish added substance and flavor. If you make the soup ahead, just wait to stir the pasta / tortellini in until right before serving.
