Notes

  • Use homemade broth for deeper flavor.
  • Frozen tortellini can be cooked directly in the broth.
  • Add spinach or kale during the last few minutes for extra nutrition.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Add extra broth when reheating if the tortellini absorb too much liquid.
