Description
A simple and comforting recipe featuring fresh tortellini cooked gently in flavorful bone broth, creating a light yet hearty dish perfect for a quick meal. Finished with optional Parmesan cheese and seasoning, this soup is both nourishing and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
Soup Base
- 4-5 cups bone broth (or low-sodium chicken broth)
Pasta
- 9-10 ounces fresh tortellini
Seasoning & Toppings
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese, optional for topping
Instructions
- Heat the Broth: Pour bone broth into a medium saucepan or Dutch oven and place over medium-high heat. Bring the broth to a gentle boil, ensuring it does not boil too vigorously to preserve flavor.
- Add Tortellini: Once boiling, add the fresh tortellini to the broth. Stir gently to prevent sticking.
- Cook Tortellini: Cook the tortellini just until al dente according to the package instructions, reducing heat if needed to maintain a gentle bubble. The tortellini will float to the top when done.
- Season the Broth: Turn off the heat when tortellini are tender and floating. Taste the broth and season with kosher salt as desired to enhance flavor.
- Serve: Ladle the tortellini and broth into serving bowls. Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, comforting meal.
Notes
- Using fresh tortellini is recommended for the best texture and cooking time.
- Adjust salt carefully since bone broth may already contain some sodium.
- Feel free to add cooked vegetables or herbs for added nutrition and flavor.
- Parmesan cheese topping adds a nice savory finish but can be omitted for a lighter option.
