- Add the cheddar cheese a handful at a time, stirring until melted after each addition.
- Stir in the frozen tortellini.

- Stir well and serve with extra shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
Tortellini keeps absorbing liquid, so leftovers thicken quickly; add a splash of broth or cream when reheating. Reheat over low heat and avoid boiling to keep the cheese from separating.
This soup doesn't freeze well.
Freshly shredded sharp cheddar melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.
