Ingredients
- 6 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 12 ounces Fresh or frozen tortellini (cheese or meat-filled)
- 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese (for crisps)
- 1 Garlic clove (smashed)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional garnish)
- 0 to taste Salt
- 0 to taste Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
To prepare the cheese crisps, place tablespoon-sized mounds of grated Parmesan cheese on the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten them slightly into thin circles.
Step 3
Bake the Parmesan mounds for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven, let them cool completely on the baking sheet, then transfer to a plate and set aside.
Step 4
In a large pot, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a simmer over medium heat. Add the smashed garlic clove to infuse the broth with flavor.
Step 5
After 5 minutes, remove the garlic clove from the broth and discard.
Step 6
Add the tortellini to the simmering broth and cook according to the package instructions, typically about 5-7 minutes, until tender.
Step 7
Taste the broth and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
Step 8
Ladle the tortellini and broth into serving bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately with the Parmesan crisps on the side for dipping or crumbling into the broth.
