Spinach Tortellini en Brodo
What can be more comforting than a hot bowl of soup, like this spinach tortellini en brodo, on a cold night. If your family wants meat in theirs, you may also enjoy this Turkey Meatball Tortellini Soup or this Three Cheese Mushroom Tortellini Soup for another vegetarian option.
Hearty soups for dinner are always the best remedy for warming up when the weather starts to get cold. It’s my favorite way to make a one pot meal, and leftovers are great the next day for dinner or to pack for lunch. My family loves this soup, so it’s a dinner win all around!
Have you heard of Tortellini en Brodo?
It simply means tortellini served in broth, in Italian.
This recipe was adapted from my friend Paula of Bell’alimento’s. I met Paula a few years ago on my first ever blogger event at the Pom Wonderful Harvest Fest, she has a beautiful blog with delicious Italian recipes.
A Note about Parmesan Cheese Rinds for Soup
I never toss my Parmesan cheese or Romano cheese rinds out, I always freeze them for soups like this. It’s a great way to add so much flavor to the broth. As your soup or stock simmer, the rind from cheese softens and flavors the liquid. The broth becomes infused with the wonderful cheese flavor. Once the soup is cooked, discard it before eating.
