👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Heat the Broth:

In a large pot, combine broth, whole onion, carrot, and celery. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 15–20 minutes to infuse flavor. Discard the vegetables before adding the tortellini.

2. Cook the Tortellini:

Add the tortellini to the simmering broth and cook according to package or homemade instructions (usually 3–5 minutes, until they float and are tender).

3. Season & Serve:

Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Ladle tortellini and broth into bowls and serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan if desired.

💡 Pro Tips

• Use homemade broth for the richest flavor. A mix of chicken and beef bones is traditional.

• Don’t overboil — a gentle simmer keeps the broth clear.

• Great as a holiday first course or warming winter meal.
