Another good low sodium recipe I found at CDKitchen.com. Less than 200mg of sodium per a serving of soup!


Ingredients (Serves 6 people):
Vegetable cooking spray
2 cups sliced carrots
1/4 cup sliced green onions, tops included
2 cloves garlic, minced

1 package (9 oz size) fresh low-fat tomato and cheese tortellini
3 cups torn spinach leaves
2 teaspoons lemon juice, more to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, more to taste
1/8 teaspoon pepper


Directions:
Spray bottom of large saucepan with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot.
Saute carrots, green onions, garlic, and basil until onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add chicken broth and water to saucepan; heat to boiling.
Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 10 minutes.
Heat broth mixture to boiling; stir in tortellini and spinach.
Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until tortellini are al dente, about 5 minutes.
Stir in lemon juice, nutmeg and pepper.
