Tortellini in Chicken Broth

spinach instead of watercress, chives and parsley. Its perfect for a quick light soup. For something a little heartier I might sautee some chicken with garlic in butter but as is is a nice refreshing light soup. so YUM

We make tortellini in broth quite often. This recipe differs slightly with the addition of the watercress, scallions and hot sauce. I substituted spinach for the watercress, as that's what I had on-hand, and made my own homemade chicken broth from the carcass from last night's "spatchcock chicken" (recipe also from this site). This was a quick, and easy weeknight meal after a long day at work. I really liked the additions, and will make it this way again.

Execellent quick meal. Used chicken and prosciutto tortellini and it turned out amazing.

This soup was amazing! And so simple. I'd never had watercress before and I'm glad I tried it, it gave the soup a unique flavor that I really enjoyed. You could add spinach instead as some other reviewers suggested but I would highly recommend sticking to using watercress. My only critique would be that I had to add A LOT more liquid.

I followed the basic recipe. Also made a few modifications. I sautéed some red onion with shiitake mushroom with minced garlic A little bit of butter, used fresh spinach and celery. Delicious!!
