@petalique I made it for dinner; we all liked it very much. I posted it below because I don't subscribe. A few comments.
I made half and it was plenty for 3 for dinner with bread and salad.
I'd imagine the quality of stock is very important ( I used Aneto) and the use of fresh made tortellini (bought locally).
Some errors in the recipe? Unless i am confused, it seem as if the first time it mentions the stock it says "Return broth to a gentle simmer." What broth? I cooked the tortellini in the broth instead of the water. Also, I think the recipe means 1 tsp salt and pepper? not 1 Tbsp
I think it was a tad too lemony, id taste it and then adjust. I also think you may want to decide for yourself how much spinach; i eyeballed but could have used more. Maybe also peas or zucchini?
I grated fresh parm on top. Easy, good, filling. I will make it again.
Lemony Tortellini Soup With Spinach and Dill
Servings: 4
Ingredients
1 bunch Mature Spinach
1 small bunch Dill
8 cups Vegetable Stock
300 grams Cheese, Spinach or Mushroom Tortellini
1-2 Lemons
4 large Eggs
1 tbsp Salt , Pepper and Olive Oil
Instructions
Prep your green things: Trim roots and leggy stalks spinach. Wash well and spin or pat dry; coarsely chop. Coarsely chop leaves and tender stems from 1 small bunch dill to make ½ cup. Set a few tender sprigs aside for serving; reserve remaining dill for another use.
Bring 8 cups water to a boil in a medium Dutch oven or other heavy pot. Add tortellini and cook 3 minutes (or according to package directions), then remove from heat.
Cut 1 lemon in half and squeeze juice through your hand or a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. You should have ¼ cup; repeat with another lemon if you need a little more juice.
Whisk lemon juice, 4 large eggs, and 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper in a medium bowl or large measuring glass to combine.
Return broth to a gentle simmer. Scoop out about 1 cup and very gradually drizzle into egg mixture, whisking constantly. The egg mixture should be quite warm to the touch—if not, whisk in more broth.
Whisking constantly, gradually pour warm egg mixture into broth in pot. Cook, whisking often, over medium heat, until slightly thickened, 5–7 minutes. (Do not let broth come to a full boil.)
Remove from heat and add spinach and chopped dill (the spinach will wilt immediately.)
Ladle broth into bowls with tortellini. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and shave or finely grate Parmesan over. Sprinkle with a little pepper and top with remaining dill sprigs.
