1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup heavy cream

6. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions, usually 4–5 minutes.

Notes
Be sure to stir the soup frequently when adding cream to prevent curdling.
If using frozen tortellini, increase cooking time by 2–3 minutes.
Add extra broth when reheating leftovers if it thickens too much.
