Tortellini en brodo (in broth) is a simple soup consisting of broth and tortellini, which is traditionally served as a first course at Italian Christmas feasts. Betty’s version includes chopped cooked chicken and additional veggies, which make this recipe hearty enough to be a stand-alone meal. Even better, it’s still easy to make with refrigerated tortellini and Progresso™ chicken broth. So next time you want to shake up your chicken noodle routine, give Tortellini Soup a try. Keep exploring Betty’s tortellini recipes and learn some handy tips for shopping for and keeping your tortellini fresh.
