Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup tortellini (fresh or frozen) Cook according to package instructions.
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix Check for halal certification.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cooking your chicken breast until it’s fully cooked. You can boil, grill, or bake it, then shred it for later use.
  2. In a large pot, add the chicken broth and ranch dressing mix. Stir to combine thoroughly.
  3. Bring the broth to a gentle boil and then add in the tortellini. Cook according to package instructions, typically about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Once the tortellini is cooking, add your shredded chicken and chopped spinach into the pot. Let them simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the soup to warm up, but don’t let it boil.
  6. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your warm, creamy bowl of happiness!

Notes

If storing leftovers, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For freezing, leave out the heavy cream to maintain texture. Reheat gently on the stove, adding chicken broth or water as needed.
