This soup was quite beautiful in its finished form. My chicken broth was nice and clear so the peas and watercress looked so pretty floating in it. I added pre-made cheese tortellini as I was serving this for dinner. Very good!
Hi Sunnie: Oh, that sounds divine. The broth was a good and flavorful base for your cheese tortellini and I imagine that it was a very beautiful, finished dish. Thanks for sharing. -Char
