Groundbreaking scientific analysis of ancient Sardinian bronze figurines has revealed the Bronze Age Mediterranean was far more interconnected than previously imagined. An international research team's multi-proxy approach to studying the famous bronzetti of the Nuragic culture has unlocked secrets about metal sourcing, trade routes, and cultural connections spanning from Sardinia to Scandinavia. The revolutionary findings, published in PLoS ONE, demonstrate that sophisticated trade networks flourished across Bronze Age Europe, challenging traditional assumptions about ancient isolation and technological limitations. The Nuragic culture flourished on Sardinia from approximately 1800 to 238 BC, leaving behind thousands of distinctive stone towers called nuraghes and hundreds of intricate bronze figurines known as bronzetti. These small sculptures, typically measuring around 10 centimeters (4 inches) in height, depict warriors adorned with horned helmets, priests, animals, and divine figures, offering invaluable insights into Bronze Age Mediterranean society, religion, and artistic traditions.

Creamy, cozy Instant Pot Creamy Tortellini Chicken Soup is a quick, comforting and filling soup that the whole family will want over and over! SOUP IN UNDER 30 MINUTES Remember how popular the instant pot was a few years ago? Everyone was getting them for Christmas and I got constant requests for instant pot recipes. I couldn’t get them out fast enough. Then it was air fryer recipes. Those both seem to dropping off in popularity (at least they are on my site) as most faddish small appliances do over time (except for the slow cooker – that one isn’t going anywhere, ha!) There are still a few die hard fans out there so that is why I still occasionally create an instant pot or air fryer recipe. I love how easy this Instant Pot Creamy Tortellini Chicken Soup is to make. You don’t need a whole lineup of ingredients and it comes together easily in the pressure cooker. Don’t have an instant pot? I have other ways to make this below in the Frequently Asked Question section. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:  Can I use fresh chicken instead? Use 1 pound raw chicken breast or thighs, add to the Instant Pot before cooking on manual/high setting. Add about a cup of broth to the pot. You’ll need to cook on high for 10 minutes. Can I make this on the stove instead? Yes, in fact it’s an easy soup to make on the stove. Since you’re using precooked chicken, it’s just a matter of throwing everything in a pot and heating it all up. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook for 4–5 minutes, until softened.Stir in chicken breasts, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Bring it all to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20–25 minutes. Stir in tortellini and heavy cream. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, until tortellini is tender and everything is warm. Can this be made in the Slow Cooker? Yes, this is another easy recipe to convert to a crock pot soup. In your slow cooker, add cooked chicken, chicken broth, heavy cream, diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, celery, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2–3 hours until the vegetables are tender.About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the tortellini, heavy cream, and spinach. Continue cooking until the tortellini is tender and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, then serve. How do I avoid the burn notice on the Instant Pot? Scraping the bottom of the pot really well after adding broth will prevent burning and add delicious flavor. What to serve with Instant Pot Creamy Tortellini Chicken Soup Some of my favorites are Breadsticks, Garlic Bread, Garlic Knots, Garlic Naan, crusty bread with butter. You can’t go wrong with a big mixed greens salad with a light vinaigrette or your favorite dressing with a big bowl of this soup either. And of course, a side of your favorite veggies like roasted or sautéed vegetables like asparagus, zucchini, or Brussels Sprouts are great options. Can I use something else other than tortellini? Sure. I think gnocchi would be another delicious option. How long are leftovers good for? Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I haven’t tried freezing this soup. I suppose you could but you have to be careful with freezing cream based soups. The cream likes to separate when reheating so reheat slowly would be my best advice. What’s the best way to reheat this soup? Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave in 30-second intervals until hot.The tortellini will absorb the broth, add extra broth and cream when reheating. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) butter – you can use salted or unsalted butter. onion, celery and carrots – some stores are now carry pre-chopped containers of diced onion, celery and carrots (it might say ‘mire-poix’ on the container), this can be a great time saving option as well. Italian seasoning – I go with standard Italian seasoning but you could use poultry seasoning, a little thyme, or even cajun seasoning for a little kick. chicken broth– you can use low or no sodium chicken broth to help control the amount of sodium in this recipe. You can even use Homemade Chicken Broth if you have some on hand. rotisserie chicken – If you don’t want to use rotisserie chicken, try boiling, roasting or pan frying some chicken to use in this (breasts or thighs both work.) fresh cheese tortellini– I prefer to use fresh cheese tortellini (the kind you get in the refrigerated section) instead of frozen for the best texture. If using frozen tortellini, let it partially thaw first. Use your favorite tortellini filling – cheese, meat, mushroom, etc. ground nutmeg– this is an optional ingredient. Nutmeg is optional but adds a nutty warmth to the soup. Just a tiny little bit does the trick! spinach– You can omit the spinach or add kale. heavy whipping cream– You could swap half-and-half for the heavy cream. Or in a pinch, you could use a little evaporated milk. freshly grated Parmesan cheese– this is an optional ingredient that I used for serving HOW TO MAKE INSTANT POT CREAMY TORTELLINI CHICKEN SOUP: Set Instant Pot to Sauté mode. Once hot, melt butter, and add onions, celery, carrots, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened. Pour in broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Cancel sauté mode. Secure the lid and set the valve to sealing. Cook on manual/high pressure for 2 minutes. Once done, allow a 5-minute natural release, then do a quick release of the remaining pressure. Carefully open the lid and switch back to sauté mode. Add chicken, tortellini, and nutmeg. Stir to combine. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender. Stir in spinach and heavy cream and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.  Ladle into bowls and top with fresh chopped parsley and grated Parmesan, if desired. Enjoy!
