Many cultures have a version of dumplings; for Russians, they're called pelmeni. One of the ways they're often served is in a cabbage soup. We substitute easier-to-find tortellini in this healthy soup recipe with great results, but if you can find pelmeni, go ahead and use them.

Fast, easy, & delicious! Just a tip - if you double this recipe, you don't need to double the dill. I used just a small package of fresh dill (only option available to me at the store) but realized that I had twice as much of the Buitoni tortellini (20 oz) and coleslaw mix than I needed (again only package sizes available to me.) Added extra onion and broth that I had on hand. Didn't have enough dill to double but 1/3 cup was plenty for the doubled recipe. Any more and I think it would be overpowering. This was a big hit; s.o. said it was reminiscent of sauerkraut for some reason. I don't eat sauerkraut so I don't know. Maybe because of the cabbage? By the end of the leftovers, there wasn't much broth left, may need to add some more. Pros: Something new! Cons: Might need more broth
