A stomach that is full causes the irritation, which causes diaphragm spasm and the subsequent hiccup. Swallowing too much food and air may cause distended stomach to push against the phrenic nerves, which causes the irritation. Moreover, taking hot spicy foods could also lead to irritation of the phrenic nerves.
Best Answer: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the tortellini. When they change color (become whiter) and soften they are ready - about 6-10 minutes. I love to serve with a tomato cream sauce and grilled chicken, top with Parmesan cheese. Or just a simple alfredo sauce.
Directions: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat and cook the onions for about 3 minutes, or until they are translucent; add the carrots and garlic and cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Add the spinach and cook for 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add the cheese tortellini and cook until al dente, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and serve with the âCaprese Sandwichâ (recipe below.).
