Method
Preparation
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced carrots, celery, and onion. Cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften, stirring occasionally.
- Once the vegetables are tender, add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Carefully pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add the cheese tortellini to the boiling broth. Cook according to the package instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes, until they float to the top and are tender.
- Once the tortellini is cooked, stir in the shredded chicken and fresh spinach. Allow everything to simmer together for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the chicken is warmed through.
- Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with your choice of garnishes, such as fresh herbs or a sprinkle of zesty lemon juice.
Notes
For a richer flavor, let the soup simmer for a few extra minutes after adding the chicken. Ensure your tortellini doesn’t overcook. Store leftovers properly and reheat gently.
