• Step 4
  Add the pesto & stir to combine.
• Step 5
  Add the cooked sausage meat back to the pot with the tortellini & stock cube dissolved in 350 ml of water per serving. Stir & leave to simmer for 4-5 min, until the tortellini rise to the surface.
• Step 6
  Turn off the heat & stir in the grated comté cheese for extra creaminess (optional).
• Step 7
  Serve the tortellini soup in a bowl & top with freshly grated pepper. Enjoy !
