Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil (15 ml)
½ medium onion, chopped (75 g)
3 celery stalks, finely chopped (120 g)
3 large carrots, peeled and chopped or sliced (225 g)
2 garlic cloves, minced
½ tsp Italian seasoning (1 g)
8 cups chicken broth (1.9 liters)
2 cups shredded cooked or rotisserie chicken (300 g)
2 packages (9 oz / 255 g each) refrigerated cheese tortellini
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook for 5–7 minutes until soft and lightly browned.
Add celery, carrots, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Cook 2–3 more minutes.
Pour in chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes until vegetables are tender.
Stir in shredded chicken and tortellini. Simmer for 4–5 minutes until tortellini is just cooked.
Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Refrigerated tortellini cook quickly and hold texture well.
Rotisserie chicken is a great time-saver, but any cooked chicken works.
Add spinach or kale at the end for added color and nutrients.
To freeze, omit the tortellini and add fresh when reheating.
