This hearty homemade soup combines juicy chicken, cheesy tortellini, fresh vegetables, and Italian seasoning for the ultimate comfort food.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon canola oil
3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
1 cup fresh chopped spinach

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables

Heat canola oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat.

Add the carrots, celery, and onion.

Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are softened.

Step 2: Add Seasonings

Stir in:

Italian seasoning
Salt
Minced garlic
Black pepper

Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

Pour in the chicken broth and add the chicken breasts.

Bring the soup to a simmer over high heat.

Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10–14 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.

Step 4: Shred the Chicken

Remove the chicken breasts from the soup and shred or chop them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 5: Add Tortellini and Spinach

While shredding the chicken, stir the cheese tortellini and chopped spinach into the soup.

Cook according to the tortellini package instructions, usually about 3–5 minutes.

Step 6: Finish and Serve

Return the shredded chicken to the soup and stir well.

Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

Fresh tortellini cooks quickly and gives the soup a rich, cheesy flavor.
Frozen tortellini works perfectly for easy meal prep.
Rotisserie chicken can be substituted for faster preparation.
Add grated Parmesan cheese before serving for extra flavor.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
