French Onion Tortellini Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add the remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 7-9 minutes or until tortellini is tender.

Steps:

• Melt the stick of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and salt and pepper and cook until the onions are very soft and caramelized, about 25 minutes. Add the wine, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the wine has evaporated and the onions are dry, about 5 minutes. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Dust the onions with the flour and give them a stir. Turn the heat down to medium low so the flour doesn't burn, and cook for 10 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Now add the beef broth, bring the soup back to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• When you're ready to eat, preheat the broiler. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle the slices with the Gruyere and broil until bubbly and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Ladle the soup in bowls and float several of the Gruyere croutons on top.
• Alternative method: Ladle the soup into bowls, top each with 2 slices of bread and top with cheese. Put the bowls into the oven to toast the bread and melt the cheese.

Steps:

• In a large stockpot over medium heat, heat the oil until it shimmers, about 2 minutes, then add the onion, garlic, and carrots, and saute for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are slightly soft. Pour in the chicken stock, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Add the peas, tortellini, and corn and cook for 12 minutes, or according to the package directions for the tortellini.
• Remove the stockpot from the heat and add the spinach, stirring until it wilts. To serve, spoon the soup into bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese.

Steps:
