The tortellini, which are small pasta dumplings filled with meat or cheese, are cooked in a flavorful broth made with escarole, a slightly bitter leafy green. Other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onions, are often added to the soup, along with herbs and spices. The result is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day.

Steps:
- Brown the chicken breast in the butter, seasoning it with salt and pepper; set aside. Chop mortadella finely and combine in a bowl with the chicken, ricotta, 1 cup grated Romano, 1 egg, nutmeg, salt and pepper, and mix well.
- Heap the flour in a mound on a board and make a well in the center. Break in the 2 remaining eggs and knead into soft, smooth dough. Roll out into a thin (1/8" thick) sheet and cut into 1-1/4" circles (you can use a small juice glass).
- To make tortellini, place a little of the filling in the center of each circle and fold the pasta in half, pressing it around the edges to seal in filling. Then wind the folded edge around the tip of your index finger and press the 2 ends together to form a ring.
- Bring chicken broth to a simmer.
- Bring the stock to a boil. Drop in tortellini and cook until al dente, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and serve in bowls of broth, passing remaining grated cheese.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will give your soup the best flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of escarole. There are many different varieties available, each with its own unique flavor.
- If you can't find escarole, you can substitute another type of leafy green, such as spinach or kale.
- Be careful not to overcook the escarole. It should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Serve the soup with a sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil. This will add extra flavor and richness.
