- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: tortellini, chicken broth, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, olive oil, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper.
- In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.

- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, being careful not to let it burn.
- Pour in the 6 cups of chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Add the tortellini to the pot. Cook according to the package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes, until the tortellini are tender and cooked through.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
- Once the tortellini are cooked, remove the pot from heat. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Tortellini en Brodo Soup!
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh tortellini and high-quality chicken broth. Homemade broth can elevate the taste even further!
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach or peas for extra nutrition and color.
- Don’t Overcook the Tortellini: Keep an eye on the cooking time for the tortellini to ensure they remain tender and don’t become mushy.
- Garnish Generously: A sprinkle of fresh parsley not only adds a pop of color but also enhances the flavor. You can also add grated Parmesan cheese for an extra savory kick.
- Make it Ahead: This soup can be made in advance and stored in the fridge. Just reheat gently on the stove before serving.
- Serve with Crusty Bread: Pair your soup with a slice of crusty Italian bread for a complete meal that’s perfect for dipping!
