Harald's simple beef tortellini soup

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 1 slice(s) of beef leg, approx. 350 g each
• 1 liter of water
• 1 onion(s)
• Salt and pepper, white
• ½ leek(s)
• 2 carrots
• some celery or celeriac
• 200 g tortellini with meat filling, from the refrigerated section
• some parsley, chopped
• some chives

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 2 hours 30 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours 45 minutes

Rinse the leg of pork under running water, pat dry, and place in a pot. Add the water, salt, pepper, and the onion (with the skin on). Cover and bring to a boil, then simmer gently for at least 2 hours. Just before the two hours are up, clean and slice the leek, carrots, and celery. When the meat is tender, remove it from the broth and set aside. Pour the broth through a sieve into another pot. Add the vegetables and simmer for about 15 minutes. Cut the meat into small cubes and return it to the broth. Let the tortellini simmer in the soup for about 5 minutes, until tender. Season the soup with salt and pepper. Stir in some parsley and chives. Serve the soup.
