Instructions

1

Saut Vegetables and Flour

Start by melting the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and cook it for about 2 minutes until it starts to soften. Then add the carrots and celery, cooking everything together for another couple of minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and stir it in well, letting it cook for a few more minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.

2

Simmer with Broth and Spices

Next, pour in the chicken broth along with the cannellini beans, diced ham, a spoonful of Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 15 minutes so the flavors can meld.

3

Cook Tortellini and Add Cream

After that, add the tortellini to the pot and cook for around 5 minutes until the pasta is tender. Stir in the half-and-half, then turn off the heat. Let the soup rest for a few minutes to thicken slightly and let everything come together.

4

Garnish and Serve

Serve it up in bowls and sprinkle with some freshly grated Parmesan and chopped parsley for a nice finishing touch. Enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

Serve the soup hot with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or grated Parmesan on top. A side of crusty bread or a simple green salad pairs well to round out the meal. This soup also works great as a hearty lunch or light dinner.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of broth or water if the soup thickens too much. Avoid freezing if the soup has cream, as it may separate upon thawing.
