Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil extra virgin
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 medium Carrots sliced
  • 2 stalks Celery diced
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth low-sodium
  • 9 ounces Fresh Cheese Tortellini
  • 8 ounces Boursin Cheese garlic and fine herbs
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley finely chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large Soup Pot or Dutch Oven
  • Wooden spoon or silicone spatula
  • Knife & Cutting Board
  • Measuring Cups & Spoons
  • Ladle

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 4-5 minutes until translucent and soft. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the sliced carrots and diced celery to the pot. Stir everything together, then pour in 4 cups of chicken broth. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let it cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Add the fresh cheese tortellini directly to the simmering broth. Fresh tortellini cooks quickly, usually in 3-5 minutes. Once the tortellini floats to the surface and is tender, it’s ready for the next step.
  4. Reduce the heat to low. Add the entire 8-ounce package of Boursin cheese to the pot, stirring until it melts completely into the soup. Then pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring gently to combine. The soup should become luxuriously creamy with a beautiful herbaceous flavor.
  5. Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • If the soup becomes too thick after adding cream and cheese, stir in extra broth or water to loosen it.
  • Monitor tortellini closely during cooking to avoid overcooking and mushiness.
  • Lower the heat before adding Boursin cheese to prevent clumping and ensure smooth melting.
  • Season well with salt and pepper to bring out the full flavors of the soup.
  • Store soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stovetop with occasional stirring.
