Pumpkin soup
Simply add this unique pasta variety (stuffed shells that resemble mini-croissants or wontons) to any soup and you will transform your dish into an Italian classic.
Fresh tortellini will cook much faster (typically 2-3 minutes) than dried options (typically 10-12 minutes). While filled pastas, like tortellini, are usually ready when they float to the top, it’s always a good idea to do an al dente taste-test: soft but with a little bite to it.
Definitely. Remember that leftovers will compromise on texture and the pasta will soften more with each passing day. An idea is to cook and store the tortellini separately and then simply add to your leftover soup during the reheating process.
Cook like any other pasta: add it to a pot of gently boiling, salted water.
While Italy is home to some of the world's most loved and iconic foods, tortellini soup is perhaps one of the country’s best kept secrets: pillows of filled pasta floating in a fragrant base of creamy soup or clear broth. Versatile enough to indulge any palate, this soup will quickly become one of the family’s winter favorites.
Most herbs will add an extra depth of flavor to your soup, especially basil, oregano or thyme. For creamy soups, a generous helping of shredded parmesan cheese, crumbled ricotta or buffalo mozzarella will add extra richness to an already moreish dish.
Traditional side dishes will of course be as Italian as your soup: fresh ciabatta bread, bruschetta or a panzanella salad of soaked bread, tomatoes, onions and basil coated in olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to five days. Remember that the pasta will continue to soften and that some texture will be lost as a result. To avoid this, cook and store your tortellini separately and add a few to the soup before reheating.
