And just like that, dinner is served.
Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Add the tortellini and cook according to the package directions until al dente.
Remove the Parmesan rind and check the soup for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper as needed.
