Cheese tortellini in a vegetable-rich chicken or vegetable broth, finished with grated Parmesan.

Ingredients

  • ½ tablespoon butter
  • ⅓ cup chopped onions
  • 1 medium chopped carrot
  • 1 stalk chopped celery
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • 1½ cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 bay leaf optional
  • 1 piece Parmesan rind optional
  • 4 ounces cheese tortellini
  • Salt to taste
  • Grated Parmesan to finish

Directions

  • Melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onions, carrot, and celery for 3 to 4 minutes, until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Pour in the broth, and add the bay leaf and Parmesan rind if you are using them. Cover and simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes.
