Notes

  • Tip 1: Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat on the stove for the best texture.
  • Tip 2: This soup can be frozen for up to three months. However, it’s best to add tortellini fresh when reheating to avoid mushiness.
  • Tip 3: Serve with crusty bread or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal.
  • Tip 4: For an extra kick, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes or even a dash of hot sauce.
  • Tip 5: Experiment with different herbs like thyme or basil for a unique flavor twist.
