Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your soup taste better. Look for high-quality ground beef, chicken, or turkey, and use fresh vegetables and herbs.
  • Brown the meatballs before adding them to the soup: This will help them hold their shape and develop a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the tortellini: Tortellini should be cooked until they are al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked tortellini will become mushy.
  • Add vegetables to the soup: Vegetables add flavor, nutrients, and color to the soup. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, and spinach.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
