Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 9 ounces cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- In the same pot, add the onion and garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil.
- Add the tortellini to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pot and add the chopped spinach. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the soup is heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
- You can use different types of tortellini to suit your preference, such as cheese, spinach, or meat-filled.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- This soup is best enjoyed fresh, as the tortellini can absorb the broth if left to sit for too long.
