For a spicier chowder, leave the seeds in the jalapeno or add a pinch of cayenne pepper. If you don't have half-and-half, you can use milk or cream. Using cream will result in a richer chowder. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as zucchini, carrots, or spinach. For a vegetarian option, ensure your vegetable broth is vegetarian-friendly. You can also add a can of drained and rinsed black beans for extra protein. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The tortellini may absorb some of the broth as it sits, so you may need to add a little more broth or water when reheating.
