Onions, garlic, spinach, and tomatoes boost this chicken soup with cheese tortellini. It is fast and easy to make using pre-made tortellini and cooked chicken.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound baby spinach
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 large can diced peeled tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pound pre-made cheese tortellini (from the market refrigerator case or freezer)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, cut into 1-inch cubes (rotisserie chicken from the market or leftover homemade)

Preparation:

Heat a large stockpot over medium-low heat. Add olive oil and onions. Saute, stirring often, until onions are softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and spinach, and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes, until spinach reduces.

Add chicken broth, tomatoes, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a low boil. Reduce heat, add tortellini, and simmer until cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in cooked chicken, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes, until chicken is warmed through.

Serve soup hot with crusty bread.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
