CHICKEN AND TORTELLINI SOUP
This recipe was an experiment that turned into a family tradition. My family begs for it every time we get together. I believe the tarragon is the magic ingredient. Don't use fresh tortellini; it breaks apart in the soup. I'm estimating the amount of dried tortellini, as I usually use frozen. My husband says this is even better the second day!
