Tortellini Soup
What a simple, hearty and delicious soup this turned out to be. We love tortellini but I have never made soup with it. Usually I turn it into an Alfredo dish, but not this time! People get so focused on eating the same things over and over again that it’s nice when we fix something different like this Tortellini Soup! It was like two meals in one. First, the delicious five cheese tortellini followed by a delicious chicken based broth. This recipe makes enough for an entire family!
Ingredients
In a large stock pot, melt the butter and add the onion, celery, carrots and garlic.
Cook for 10 minutes over a medium heat, with a lid, stirring occasionally.
Add the chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Turn to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes with the lid on.
Add the herbs and tortellini and cook according to the package directions for the tortellini.
My tortellini said to boil for four minutes.
Sprinkle Parmesan Cheese on top and serve.

This recipe sounds really good Diane, but I have a question. Why two different types of chicken broth? I only ask because I usually substitute vegetable broth when a recipe calls for chicken broth. I need to figure out how to prepare this.

Thanks Miss Hammie! You can use what ever you want. I always keep a 32 oz and 4 cans of broth in my cellar. It’s just what I happened to have on hand. Vegetable broth will be just as delicious.
