Chicken Tortellini Soup

I challenged my wife to this recipe, and boy howdy it's terrific. I would recommend premium tortellini and don't forget the fresh Parmesan, as the nutty flavor adds infinitesimally to the broth. To conclude, this recipe is for a large quantity, so be prepared for leftovers - I am looking forward to that part as I type this.

This soup has been on regular rotation in our house for 16 years! We often make this and chili for a casual drop-in supper.
