  • 0.5 cup Parmesan Cheese 50g, freshly grated.
  • 0.25 cup Fresh Parsley 15g, finely chopped.

Equipment

  • 1 6-Quart Dutch Oven A heavy-bottomed pot is essential for even simmering.

Method
 

Prep and Sear
  1. In a large dutch oven, brown the ground meat over medium-high heat until deep golden brown chunks form.
  2. Add onions and sauté until translucent. Stir in garlic and tomato paste, cooking until the paste darkens to a brick red.
Simmer and Serve
  1. Add crushed tomatoes, broth, and seasoning. Simmer for 20 minutes to develop flavors.
  2. Add tortellini and cook until al dente. Stir in heavy cream to achieve a rich, creamy texture.
  3. Ladle into bowls and top with generous amounts of Parmesan and fresh parsley.

Notes

Use bone broth for a richer collagen-filled mouthfeel.
If the soup is too thick, thin it with an extra 1/2 cup of broth before serving.
