Tomato based soup filled with shredded chicken, tortellini, and vegetables. This chicken tortellini soup is easy, delicious, and comforting.
Happy New Year!
I hope 2019 is starting off on an amazing note!
I thought I would start my first recipe post with a warm comforting soup. Because it’s a soup kind of weather. It’s been sooo cold lately, which is to be expected for the winter, but still! I’m freezing. Plus, it’s supposed to rain in a few days, so I’m all about the warm cozy foods.
After more than three weeks of being sick, I’m so ready to start the new year on a healthy note. I am so thankful that it was during the holidays though. That gave me time to recover and not worry about getting up in the morning to go to work. But that also meant that I missed most of the holidays this time around. It was a struggle to go to events or even go out to eat with family and friends. I had to reschedule so many dinners and get togethers. I couldn’t even get out to the post office to send out packages until this past weekend. lol.
So this chicken tortellini soup is exactly what I need in my life right now. I love that it’s filled with all sorts of vegetables. Soups have to be loaded with vegetables for me. I love that there’s shredded chicken. And seriously, who can pass up pasta? I’m always in the mood for pasta and soups. Together? Even better.
This chicken tortellini soup is super simple to make in a single pot, which honestly is the way I love to cook. Because less of a mess to clean up. I’m all about that. This soup is warm and cozy and flavorful, perfect for the cold winter season. So I definitely see myself making this soup a few more times before winter is over.
What’s your favorite soup for the winter season?
In a large pot, add olive oil over low to medium heat. Allow the olive oil to heat for about a minute, then add minced garlic. Cook until the garlic becomes golden brown and aromatic.
Next, add diced onions, chopped celery, and diced carrots. Cook for several minutes until the vegetables have softened.
Pour chicken broth into the pot, turn the heat to high, and allow the soup to come to a boil. Add corn kernels, diced tomato, ground cumin, green chili, chili powder, and salt. Cook all the ingredients together for about 15 minutes until they become tender.
Once the soup is ready to be served, add tortellini. I used fresh spinach tortellini so it takes only a few minutes to cook. You can either cook them in the same pot or in a separate pot and then transfer them over.
Lastly, add shredded rotisserie chicken, and stir to incorporate the chicken. I like to add the cooked chicken at the very end so that it doesn’t become overcooked. And using leftover rotisserie chicken makes my life so much easier.
Serve the chicken tortellini soup warm.
