I have a friend whose family hails from Modena and she remembers her Grandmother and Great Grandmother making some sort of soup with Tortelacci in it. Sadly, the tradition was lost over the years and she is eager to find it or one like it. Tortelacci is hard to reference and she has bet me that I can't find a recipe. Help me out please! Thanks!

Totelacci is a corruption of tortelini, a soup with tortelini is a chicken or beef based broth with cheese or meat stuffed tortelini in it. I enjoyed this soup in Italy.
