What a simple, hearty and delicious soup this turned out to be. We love tortellini but I have never made soup with it before now. Usually I turn it into an Alfredo dish, but not this time! This recipe makes enough for an entire family!

Add the herbs and tortellini then

cheese on top and serve.

  2. 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.

  11. This is one of my go-to cold weather recipes. Mine is just slightly different: Instead of nutmeg, I use thyme. Instead of celery and onion (which my wife doesn’t care for), I use celery salt and onion powder. The only other thing I do is add a pound of cubed up chicken with 4 cheese tortellini. I serve it with cheese toast (because I’m too lazy to make grilled cheese sandwiches).
