- 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
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!
grated Parmesan cheese
- 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.
