You Must Know

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality cheese tortellini and freshly grated Parmesan rather than pre-grated cheese, which contains anti-caking agents that can affect texture.
  • If using oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, pat them dry with paper towels before chopping to prevent excess oil in the soup.

Chef's Notes

For the best flavor, use high-quality cheese tortellini and freshly grated Parmesan rather than pre-grated cheese, which contains anti-caking agents that can affect texture.

If using oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, pat them dry with paper towels before chopping to prevent excess oil in the soup.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this hearty soup with crusty Italian bread for dipping and a simple green salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette. It's perfect for weeknight dinners, weekend lunches, or casual entertaining with friends.
