Tortellini soup

Tortellini soup is a dish that has been around for centuries. The soup is made with a type of pasta called tortellini, which are small, ring-shaped pasta pieces. The soup can be made with a variety of different ingredients, but the most common ingredients include beef broth, tomatoes, and spinach.

The history of tortellini soup recipes can be traced back to the 13th century. At that time, the soup was made with a type of pasta called tortelli. The tortelli were made by placing a small amount of filling, such as cheese or meat, inside a piece of dough, and then folding and shaping the dough into a small, ring-shaped pasta.

The first known recipe for tortellini soup was published in the 13th century cookbook, Liber de Coquina. This cookbook contained a variety of recipes for soups and stews, many of which were similar to the tortellini soup we know today.

Advice

When making tortellini soup, it is important to use the freshest ingredients possible. Start by sautéing onions, garlic, and other vegetables of your choice in a large pot. Once the vegetables are softened, add chicken broth or vegetable broth to the pot and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add in your tortellini and simmer until they are cooked through. Finally, season your soup with salt, pepper, and herbs of your choice. To add an extra kick, try adding a splash of white wine or freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy your soup as is or with a side of crusty bread for a complete meal.
