1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 onion sliced
2 carrots peeled and diced
2-3 cups chopped broccoli florets
2 cups asparagus spears cut into ~2" pieces - Note: I only add the asparagus when they're in season. See note below.
1 cup frozen peas
9-10 oz. cheese tortellini
4 cups vegetable broth
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼-1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup Parmesan cheese

In a large pot, add the butter over medium heat.
Add the onion and carrots, and cook until slightly softened, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the broccoli, peas, asparagus (optional - when in season), and tortellini.
Top with broth, pushing the pasta and vegetables under the broth so they are mostly covered.
Bring to a boil, and once boiling, reduce heat to medium, and cover with lid. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tortellini and vegetables are soft.
Drain pasta, then return to pot.
Add red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, cream, and cheese. Stir well to combine.
Serve topped with additional Parmesan cheese.
Enjoy!

I only include asparagus when it's in season. Instead I'll add extra broccoli or some chopped cauliflower.
