Chicken Alfredo Tortellini Soup

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.
