Tortelloni Spring Green Drop Stew

April 10

The real trick of this spring soup is the addition of store bought tortelloni which get’s dropped into the soup just before it’s ready to serve. Seek out the best quality ones you can lay your hands on and feel free to mix up the choice of greens. Choose veggie friendly stock and cheeses to make suitable for vegetarians.
