Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Chicken stock
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 Celery stalk
- 1 small Onion
- 1 Garlic clove
- 1 Bay leaf
- 6 Black peppercorns
- 12 ounces Cheese tortellini (fresh or store-bought)
- 1 to taste Salt
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Peel and chop the carrot into large chunks. Cut the celery stalk into large pieces. Quarter the small onion. Smash the garlic clove with the side of a knife to loosen the skin.
In a large pot, add the chicken stock, chopped carrot, celery, onion, smashed garlic, bay leaf, and black peppercorns. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes to infuse the flavors into the broth.
After simmering, strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into another pot to remove the vegetables and aromatics. Discard the solids and return the clear broth to the stovetop.
Season the strained broth with salt to taste and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add the cheese tortellini to the simmering broth and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 4-6 minutes, until tender.
Ladle the tortellini and broth into serving bowls.
Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your comforting bowl of Tortellini in Brodo!
