Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoon butter
- 1 onion sliced
- 2 Small carrot sliced
- 1 bay leave or 2 small
- 9 Cups broth or stock, *see Notes
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- nutmeg pinch
- ¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper Ground
- ¼ Teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 Pound tortellini
- ½ Cup table cream

- 3.5 Ounces ham diced, *see Notes
- 1 Tablespoon parsley fresh fresh chopped

Instructions
- Heat up a pot with the Butter and add your onion slices. Sautee onions soft.
- Control the heat and add the sliced carrots. Mix and allow the carrot slices to sweat a bit.
- Throw in your bay leaf and pour in broth or stock. Keep on medium to high heat.
- Season with salt, nutmeg, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Stir your soup and cook for approx 3 minutes on high heat.
- Add the tortellini to your soup, cream and dijon mustard. Combine the ingredients well.
- Cook the soup until tortellini are cooked through and soft over medium to high heat.
- Then add the cut ham and fresh parsley and pick out the bay leaf to discard the leaf.
- Take from the heat and add the 3 cheese of your choice. I added a combination of grated cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan. Mix the cheese in, it will melt fast.
- Serve up your soup hot and enjoy it.

Notes
- Use a stock or broth of your choice (veg, chicken, beef) It shouldn't be too instense or else cut with water. You can use maggie cubes too with water.
- Pick 3 cheese of your choice. I used cheddar, mozzarella and parmesan. You can also use gruyere, emmental, pecorino (careful with the saltiness).
- Dijon Mustard is optional. It adds another layer of flavor and helps the soup to come together.
- Use packet or homemade tortellini with the filling of your choice. See my recommendations in the post.
- I love to add sliced and diced ham. You can also add leftover holiday ham in this recipe, That will add tons of flavors too!
