Chef's notes
Adjust the salt. Depending on the broth and tomato sauce you use, you might want to add more or less salt.
Like a spicier soup? Add in a dash of red pepper flakes or ground cayenne pepper.
Try different tortellini. You can change the soup up with different tortellini varieties including meat stuffed, spinach stuffed, and more.
Don’t overcook the tortellini. Overcooking tortellini can make it mushy. Make sure to have your kale and heavy cream prepped and ready to add immediately after the tortellini is cooked.
