Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth if the soup has thickened.

Substitutions: For a vegetarian version, ensure you use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. You can also swap the cheese tortellini for vegetable-filled or spinach-filled varieties.

Variations: Add a splash of heavy cream or half-and-half for a richer, creamier texture. Fresh herbs like basil or parsley can be stirred in at the end for extra freshness.

Tip: Do not overcook the tortellini, as they can become mushy. Frozen tortellini cooks faster than fresh, so keep an eye on them.
