Tortellini in Brodo represents everything Italian food ought to be; that is to say, simple, satisfying, and elegant.

Here, then, is my recipe made with, mostly, chicken brodo and spinach tortellini.  Tortellini is also a pasta so this counts towards the Scordo Pasta Challenge - shape #145)    

Ingredients:

- 1 large celery stalk chopped coarsely 
- 11 quarts of fresh, filtered, water
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 - 2 pound of beef and/or veal bones (optional)
- 1 3-4 pound whole chicken cut into pieces
- 1 onion chopped coarsely 
- 2-3 tablespoons of passato
- 1 large carrot chopped coarsely

Process:

Place the chicken, onion, carrot, and celery in a large pot.  Next, cover the ingredients with water and slowly bring to a boil. Set to simmer as soon as the mixture boils and cook for 3-4 hours.   Remove from heat and strain the liquid through a sieve (for an extra light broth or leave as is if you like a more hearty brodo) and let cool.

You can prepare your pasta in a separate pot and add to your soup pot five minutes prior to the pasta being fully cooked.  You can finish cooking the tortellini in the brodo (on a high simmer / light bowl).

You can of course make your own tortellini or buy some perfectly fine tortellini from your local Italian specialty store.  I like spinach tortellini for the color and subtle flavor of the spinach in the dough.  Add grated Parmigiano-Reggiano before serving and enjoy with a cold glass of lager or white wine.  Note: I know purist would argue for a lighter colored brodo but I enjoy a slightly darker brodo simply because of the enhanced flavor; moreover, I also like adding some of the meat used to make the brodo in the serving bowl along with the tortellini.
