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.
