Chicken Tortellini Soup
Ingredients:
4 cups water
1 can (10 1/2 oz) chicken broth
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
2 cans (10 1/2 oz) cream of chicken soup
4 cups cooked chicken
3/4 tsp. basil
3/4 tsp. oregano
Pinch of minced garlic
1 pkg. (16 oz) frozen broccoli and carrots
1 pkg. cheese tortellini
*Notes: I usually just cook 3 or 4 frozen chicken breasts and cut them up into very small pieces. I also often substitute the dried minced onion from my spice cabinet if I don't have a fresh onion on hand. I add dashes of salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions:
1. In a large pot, combine water, chicken broth, cream of chicken soups, chicken, and spices. Bring to a boil.
2. Add vegetables and tortellini. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
And that's it.
Pretty easy, huh? This is delicious served with a side of crusty bread.
If I'm taking a meal to someone, this recipe easily leaves an extra small portion (great because T won't eat tortellini-so it's all mine!). I also slice and butter the crusty bread with a note for the recipient to bake it (in foil) at 350 for 15 minutes. Add a plate of brownies, and you have a yummy meal to bless someone else with!

I am going to give it a try! Looks easy and tasty- my kind of recipe! Thanks for sharing Amanda!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe, Amanda! You inspired me to make this tonight. It was so yummy! (I just replaced the broccoli with corn.)
ReplyDeleteI was inspired to make tortellini soup tonight too! I didn't have the cream of chicken soup or onion just broth and used chopped garlic in its place but oh man was it satisfying and my kids were like "mom, why have you never made this for us before, it's yummy" so if you get the kids' seal of approval, life is good.
ReplyDeleteMange!
