Notes
-
Avoid overcooking tortellini—it will continue softening in the hot soup.
-
Make ahead: Prep soup base (through step 3) up to 2 days in advance; add cream & tortellini when ready.
-
Too thick? Thin with extra chicken broth or water.
-
Freezing fully assembled soup is not recommended; freeze base only.
