Notes

  • Sauté the veggies until they are tender before adding the broth. 
  • Add additional veggies such as mushrooms or spinach. 
  • Use fresh, frozen, or dried tortellini. If using dried, add cooking time as needed according to the package. 
  • If preparing in advance, add the tortellini just before serving, as they tend to become mushy. 
  • Make the soup smoother by processing it with an immersion blender before adding the tortellini.
  • Add a little bit of sugar to reduce the acidity of the tomatoes. 
  • Make the soup a little spicy by adding crushed red pepper flakes. 
  • Add more cream or ricotta cheese to make the soup creamier.
  • Storage - keep in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 5 days.
