Shiitake mushrooms contain an ingredient called eritadenine, which allows the body tissues to absorb cholesterol and keep it from circulating through the blood. Mushrooms also contain anti-viral and anti-cancer properties.
Escarole is high in vitamin A, which supports eye health, but it's also high in vitamin K. Vitamin K is responsible for blood clotting, strong bone health, and aids in cell growth. Just a ½ cup provides approximately 70% of your suggested daily value.
Directions:
In large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and mushrooms, and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add broth, and bring to a simmer. Add escarole, and cook for two minutes. Add cooked tortellini, and heat through. Serve hot, sprinkled with Parmesan if desired.
