Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • 1 package tortellini (fresh or frozen) Choose your preferred flavor.
  • 4 cups chicken broth Low sodium recommended.

Cooking
  1. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
  2. Next, add the shredded chicken to the pot along with the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  3. Add the tortellini (fresh or frozen) to the pot. Cook according to package instructions, usually around 5-7 minutes, until the tortellini is tender and floating.
  4. Once the tortellini is cooked, pour in the heavy cream. Stir until well combined, and let everything simmer for another couple of minutes.
  5. Add the chopped spinach and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the spinach to wilt for about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors!
