I hope you believe me when I tell you that I have the best tortellini soup recipe. I grew up on this stuff. My mother used to make it for me and my siblings all of the time. It was super easy to make for her and for us it was incredibly delicious and filling. Talk about a win win.

My mother used to make hers with simply cheese tortellini in chicken broth. Which is certainly a wonderful option. As I got older I added just a few ingredients to her basic recipe. In my opinion making the best tortellini soup recipe. Do me a favor though and don’t tell Mom I said that.

Just An FYI…

There are a couple things to consider when making this tortellini soup.

• Use any kind of tortellini you want
• You can use fresh not frozen if you prefer they will just cook faster.
• If you like a thinner broth add more chicken stock.
• You can use any kind of stock you’d like- chicken, vegetable or beef.
• Start with sautéed garlic and onion for even more flavor.
• Add any vegetables you’d like. Spinach and peas work very well here.
• Add group beef or sausage for an even more hearty soup.
