Tortellini in Bone Broth

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4
Simmering tortellini in bone broth is the low-key delicious hack you didn't know you needed. This is one of my go-to bowls when someone is recovering from a bug, or just needs something extra cozy and simple.

Ingredients

  • 4-5 cups bone broth or low-sodium chicken broth
  • 9-10 ounces fresh tortellini
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • grated Parmesan cheese optional for topping

Instructions

  • Pour broth into a medium saucepan or Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Bring to a gentle boil, then add the tortellini.
    4-5 cups bone broth, 9-10 ounces fresh tortellini
  • Cook tortellini just to al dente according to package instructions. (Reduce heat if needed to keep the broth at a gentle bubble.)
  • When the tortellini are tender and floating on top of the broth, turn off the heat. Sample a spoonful of broth, then season with salt as desired.
    kosher salt and black pepper
  • Ladle tortellini into bowls and top with bone broth. Enjoy plain or sprinkle with grated Parmesan and black pepper if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Optional Additions:
    • 1-2 Tbsp. butter melted in to enrich the broth. Or, make a roux of 1 Tbsp. pre-melted butter mixed with 1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour, then mix that in to thicken and give body to the broth.
    • 1-2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken.
    • Fresh basil or parsley for color.
    • 1-2 tsp. fresh lemon juice for brightness.
  • Storage/Reheating: Extra tortellini and broth keeps well in the fridge for 1-2 days. Warm over medium heat in a small saucepan, or in the microwave, stirring in between bursts of heat.
