Notes

How to Cook Tortellini for this Soup
  • Refrigerated Pasta if it requires 8-10 minutes of cook time, cook separately until almost cooked, then drain and add to the soup for a few minutes before cooling it off to add the cream
  • Kirkland Brand Tortelloni if it requires 2 minutes of cooking time add it directly to the soup, let it cook, cool slightly to add the cream
  • Dried Tortellini cook separately until almost cooked, then drain and add to the soup for a few minutes before cooling it off to add the cream
