Zuppa Chili Tortellini

Zuppa is Italian for 'soup'; you'll love this blend of what's best both in Italy and the Southwest.

Recipe Ingredients:

2 (8.75-ounce) packages frozen chili with beans
2 small zucchini
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cups beef broth
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes with garlic and onion
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
1/4 cup dry red wine
1 (9-ounce) package Buitoni® Refrigerated Three Cheese Tortellini
Toppings: sliced green onions, shredded Parmesan cheese

Cooking Directions:

1. Thaw chili with beans in microwave at MEDIUM (50% power) 12 to 13 minutes; set aside.
2. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise; cut halves into thin slices.
3. Sauté zucchini in hot oil in a Dutch oven until crisp-tender. Add chili with beans, broth, and next 3 ingredients. Bring to boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes.
