Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cheese tortellini
- 6 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Spoon small mounds (about 1 tablespoon each) of grated Parmesan cheese onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound slightly to form thin circles.
Step 3
Bake the Parmesan crisps in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
Step 4
In a large pot or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the thyme leaves (if using), salt, and black pepper. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 6
Add the cheese tortellini to the simmering broth and cook according to the package instructions, typically 3-5 minutes, until tender and cooked through.
Step 7
Once the tortellini is cooked, ladle the broth and tortellini into serving bowls.
Step 8
Garnish each bowl with freshly chopped parsley and serve alongside the Parmesan crisps for dipping or snacking.
Step 9
Enjoy your comforting bowl of Cheese Tortellini in Light Broth with Parmesan Crisps!
