Ingredients
  

Soup Base & Aromatics
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely diced
  • 2 medium carrots peeled and sliced
  • 2 stalks celery finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
Broth, Chicken & Pasta
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 9 oz refrigerated three-cheese tortellini
  • 2 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated

Method
 

  1. In a large Dutch oven or heavy soup pot, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften and onions are translucent.
  1. Add minced garlic, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir continuously for 1 minute to cook out raw flour taste. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking gently to create a smooth, lump-free base.
  1. Bring broth to a gentle simmer. Add the refrigerated cheese tortellini and shredded chicken. Cook uncovered for 4 to 5 minutes at a gentle simmer until tortellini are tender and float to the top.
  1. Reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream and fresh baby spinach. Simmer for 2 minutes until spinach wilts into the broth. Remove pot from heat, stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let rest 2 minutes before serving.
