Tips: 👉🏻 This is a versatile recipe that allows you to add any of your favorite veggies. 👉🏻 Using low-salt broth and tomatoes lets you have better control over the amount of salt in the broth. 👉🏻Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried. Increase the amount to 1/2 Tablespoon each. 👉🏻Cooking the tortellini separately prevents them from getting too soggy in the soup. Instead of tortellini, you could add shredded rotisserie chicken.
