  • Chef's knife

Method
 

  1. Melt butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

  3. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and cook briefly.
  5. Gradually whisk in chicken broth until smooth.
  6. Simmer until slightly thickened, then stir in cream and seasoning.

Notes

Add extra broth when reheating as tortellini absorbs liquid over time.
