Notes

How long will the soup keep for after cooking?
The soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The noodles can absorb a lot of the broth, so you may want to warm it up with additional stock or a mixture of stock and water.
3. Can I use frozen tortellini instead?
While fresh tortellini would be preferred, frozen tortellini can be used however the cooking time may be increased.
4. Can I use other kinds of vegetables in the soup?
Different vegetables such as spinach, green beans etc. can be used in the soup or even a variation of vegetables!
5. Can I use a different flavor of tortellini?
Not only can you use a different flavor of tortellini in this soup, if you prefer you can use a different pasta such as mini ravioli’s, experiment and enjoy!
