Steps
First, place the chicken (skinless) in a large pot with plenty of cold water.
Add the carrot, onion, cherry tomatoes, and celery washed and cut into pieces.
Bring to a boil and then simmer for about an hour, skimming off the foam that forms on the surface.
Add salt at the end of cooking.
Once ready, the broth is strained.
I leave the pieces of carrots, onion, and cherry tomatoes, which I like to find in the dish along with the tortellini.
Bring the broth back to a boil.
When the broth is hot, gently pour in the tortellini.
Let them cook for a few minutes, until they rise to the surface.
At this point, the dish is ready.
Tortellini in broth is served hot, often with a sprinkle of grated cheese, and is appreciated for its simple and comforting taste.
The chicken used for the preparation can be enjoyed as a second course accompanied by mashed potatoes or boiled vegetables, or a Russian salad, if we stick to the holiday season.
Storing Tortellini in Chicken Broth
Leftover tortellini in chicken broth should be stored carefully to keep them good and safe to eat. Here’s how to do it 👇
Let the tortellini cool at room temperature for a short time (no more than 1 hour).
Put them in a sealed container.
Store them in the refrigerator.
Consume them within 1–2 days.
If possible, it’s better to store tortellini and broth together, so they don’t dry out.
