Trivia
The Tortellini Minestrone Soup is a rather new upgrade to the Minestrone soup. If you want to give a stronger flavor to the Parmesan, then add the rind of Parmesan at the beginning of the process along with carrots and onions. If you want to have a mild flavor of Parmesan, then add it at the end like we have done here.
