Preparation Steps

  • Add tortellini and cook at a gentle boil until tender, 5 to 7 minutes or per package directions.

  • Ladle into bowls and top with Parmesan and basil. Serve hot.

Notes

For a lighter version, omit the cream. If the soup thickens as it sits, stir in a splash of broth when reheating. Feel free to add cooked chicken or Italian sausage for extra protein.
