Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • ⅔ cup chopped onion

  • ½ cup chopped red bell pepper

  • ⅓ cup chopped green chile pepper

  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic

  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced

  • 1 tablespoon margarine

  • 3 cups vegetable broth

  • 2 cups peeled and cubed potatoes

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground red pepper

  • 2 cups cheese tortellini

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained

  • 1 pint half-and-half cream

Directions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, cook onion, bell pepper, chile pepper, garlic and jalapeno in margarine until tender but not brown, 5 minutes.

  2. Stir in broth, potatoes, cumin, salt, pepper and red pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes, until potatoes are just tender.

  3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and set aside.

  4. In a small bowl, stir together flour and vegetable oil. Pour into soup, increase heat to medium, and cook until thickened and bubbly. Stir in corn, half-and-half and tortellini and heat through. Serve.
