Scale
Soup Ingredients
- 8 ounces tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, spinach, bell peppers)
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat Garlic: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften slightly and release their flavors.
- Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, keep it uncovered, and let it simmer for 10 minutes to develop the flavors.
- Cook Tortellini: Stir in the tortellini and cook according to package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes, until the tortellini are tender but still hold their shape.
- Season and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust the salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese for added richness.
Notes
- Use fresh tortellini for a softer texture or frozen for convenience.
- You can customize the soup with your favorite vegetables or add cooked sausage for extra protein.
- For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
