Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemony Tortellini Soup With Spinach and Dill
- Start by trimming, washing, and coarsely chopping the mature spinach and dill. Place the chopped greens aside, reserving some dill sprigs for later garnish.
- In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, whisk in 1 tablespoon and 1½ teaspoons of vegetable bouillon until fully dissolved. Gently add the tortellini to the boiling broth, cooking them for about 3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Afterward, remove the pot from the heat.
- While the tortellini cooks, squeeze the juice from two lemons into a measuring cup until you have about ¼ cup of juice. In a bowl, whisk the lemon juice together with the eggs and a dash of freshly ground black pepper until combined.
- To prevent the eggs from scrambling, gradually whisk 1 cup of warm broth from the pot into the egg mixture. Continue whisking vigorously as you pour in the broth.
- Return the pot to low heat, gently warming the soup while whisking continuously for 5 to 7 minutes until the broth thickens slightly.
- Add the chopped spinach and dill, stirring until just wilted, then remove from heat.
- Ladle the steaming soup into bowls, distribute the tortellini and greens evenly, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and top with reserved dill sprigs.
