  • Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients

  • 8 raw chicken thighs
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 onion, peeled and halved
  • 1 carrot, halved
  • 1 celery stick, halved
  • 1/4 bunch parsley
  • 1 head of garlic, cut in half
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 batch meat tortellini
  • olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. To make the brodo, place the chicken in a large pot and cover with 12 cups of water. Add a big pinch of salt and bring to boil, then reduce to low heat and gently simmer for 2 hours. As the broth simmers, use a large spoon to skim off any skum that rises to the surface and add more water, as needed, to keep the chicken covered.
  2. Add onion, carrot, celery, garlic and bay leaf and continue to gently simmer until very flavorful, 1 to 2 hours.
  3. Strain through a fine mesh sieve, pressing down on vegetables and meat to extract every bit of flavor. Reserve chicken meat for another use.
  4. When ready to eat, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add tortellini and gently simmer to cook until tender at the thickest part, about 4 minutes. Divide cooked tortellini into bowls. Ladle hot brodo over the tortellini and top with a drizzle of olive oil and cracked black pepper.
