Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. *NOTE: Original recipe used 2 T extra virgin olive oil.
  2. I omitted the oil completely and added the herbs and onions into the soup as it was cooking.
  3. **NOTE: I didn't have any broccoli in the house so I used frozen corn.
  4. Pour broth into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add tortellini and cook 1 - 2 min or, if frozen, according to package directions. Add broccoli and cook over high heat about 5 min. (You are cooking broccoli to crisp-tender stage as you finish cooking pasta.)
  5. Meanwhile, mix remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Serve soup in bowls, topping each serving with a drizzle of the flavored oil.
  6. Serves 4
  7. This is a fabulous soup...I really enjoyed it with the corn.
