Tips & Notes

  • Substitution

    If you like, try 6 cups vegetable or chicken broth instead of the water and bouillon granules.

  • Time Saver

    In a hurry? Substitute a 9-ounce package of refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini instead of the dried tortellini. It cooks in just 6 to 8 minutes so you can decrease the simmer time in step 2.
