While I'm calling this a meatball and tortellini soup, I'd actually say that it's more like a meatball and tortellini stew. It's thick, hearty, and full of pasta and meatballs (without much broth). The sauce tastes rich and homemade, as though it's been simmering on the stove all day in an Italian grandmother's kitchen. In a large saucepan, bring broth to a boil.
