Chicken Alfredo Tortellini Soup is a bowl full of comfort. Wonderfully creamy and rich and full of spinach‚ Parmesan cheese‚ and garlic. It’s a great recipe for chilly days. How To Serve Chicken Alfredo Tortellini Soup This hearty soup is filling enough to be a one pot meal but it also goes great with some crusty bread or Mini Foccacia and a garden salad with Creamy Italian Dressing. Variations Add more spice. Add extra crushed red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper to make this soup spicier. Use kale instead of baby spinach. Add some broccoli when you add the tortellini. Add some peas when you add the tortellini. Chicken I typically use rotisserie chicken for this recipe but you can use any leftover chicken or you can poach‚ saute‚ slow cook‚ or bake some chicken. Lots of Garlic Flavor I like to use a combination of fresh garlic and garlic powder for maximum garlic flavor. How To Make Chicken Alfredo Tortellini Soup (More detailed instructions in recipe card below.) Saute the onion‚ carrots‚ and garlic in butter. Add the seasonings. Add flour and cook 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and heavy cream. Simmer 5 to 8 minutes. Add tortellini. Cook 3 minutes. Add spinach and chicken and then Parmesan cheese. It’s as easy as that! Recipe Tip Do not overcook the tortellini or it will get mushy in texture. It will continue to cook even after you remove the soup from the heat. Storage Leftovers will keep for 3 to 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator but the tortellini tends to soak up the liquid over time. You can add a little milk or cream to the leftovers when you reheat them.

A symposium sponsored by the International Global Warming Trust was cancelled today in Michigan as temperatures dipped below -50 degrees F. Experts were quick to dispel the notion that low temperatures meant that their theory of global warming was incorrect. Greta Thunberg‚ teen climate activist‚ had hitched a ride on a hot air balloon powered by her own fiery breath to arrive at the conference in order to yell‚ “How dare you?” at everyone only to be turned away with hypothermia. “No‚ you see you’re not nuanced enough‚” Klaus Fullofit of Norway said in a post-conference interview. “The fact that it’s so cold doesn’t mean that the planet is not warming. Only in your unscientific mind is that the case.” When journalists asked whether they should be conducting the interview outside‚ Fullofit became irate. “It’s not cold‚ dammit! It’s actually warmer than ever. This is the hottest it’s ever been!” “You see‚” a colleague Jonah Bullarky said‚ “the warmth pushes the cold up toward the poles and creates the polar vortex that swings down and makes it colder‚ but it’s not colder everywhere‚ just in the vortex. And even if it were actually colder than it’s ever been across the entire planet‚ our theory would still be right because that’s what’s paying the bills.” Thunberg was caught barking at anyone who dared come near her‚ “How dare you? You have frozen my dreams and childhood into little ice cubes. How dare you?” Data show that the sun has entered a solar minimum‚ which could explain lower temperatures but Fullofit and Bullarky reject that explanation. “You are a simple-minded denier. Global cooling is caused by global warming because science.” It was so cold that the participants’ sense of irony broke. “Next year‚ we’re holding the conference in August!” Fullofit said before jumping into a nearby frozen river.
