Ingredients
  

Olive Oil

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Onion

  • 0.5 medium onion chopped

Celery

  • 3 sticks celery finely chopped

Carrots

  • 3 large carrots peeled & chopped or sliced

Garlic

  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Italian Seasoning

  • 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Chicken Broth

  • 8 cups chicken broth

Cooked Chicken

  • 2 cups shredded cooked/rotisserie chicken or more, to taste

Cheese Tortellini

  • 2 packages refrigerated cheese tortellini

Salt & Pepper

  • Salt & pepper to taste

Parsley

  • chopped parsley to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add the olive oil and onion to a large soup pot. Sauté over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes (it's ok if onion lightly browns).
  • Add the celery, carrots, garlic, and Italian seasoning to the pot. Give it a good stir and continue cooking for a few more minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth to the pot. Increase the heat to high, and once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to a rapid simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes or until the veggies have softened to your liking.
  • Add the chicken and tortellini to the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and let the soup cook for a few more minutes until the tortellini is cooked. If it starts to boil furiously, you may need to turn the heat down again.
  • Season with salt & pepper as needed and garnish with the chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra boost of flavor, use homemade chicken broth instead of store-bought.
