  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

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

  1. 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.
  2. In the same pot, add the onion and garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil.
  4. Add the tortellini to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes.
  5. 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.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. 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.
