Grouse Tortellini Soup

How Kris does it...

This week, in keeping with the theme “great recipies that taste better and are better for you when prepared with wild game,” wait til you see the grouse tortellini soup I’ll be showing you. You’re absolutely gonna have to make this one for yourself.

I start by mixing the water and cornstarch and set it aside. I heat 1 tbsp oil in a saucepan at medium heat and add the grouseand cook it until browned, stirring often. Once the meat is browned, I take if out of the pan and set it aside. I then add the rest of the oil and sauté the onions, celery, green beans and carrots cook until tender - crisp.

In a pot, I then add the broth and heatit to a boil then add the tortellini and tomatoes and cook 10 minutes until tortellini is tender.

I then return the grouse to the pan and heat through. The I stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until the mixture boils and thickens slightly. I serve this soup with a parsley garnish.

Pipping hot, warm-you-to-the-core tortelline soup with grouse. All I can say is whenever I serve it; I’m always scraping at the bottom of the pot to have enough to keep everyone happy.
