Instructions
- Gather all of the ingredients to make Chicken Tortellini Soup and prep your vegetables.
- In a large soup pot, heat 1 tsp of oil over medium/high heat, until glistening.
- Add 1 chopped carrot, 1 chopped stalk of celery, 1/2 of a chopped onion, and 1 minced clove of garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes or until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- Keep the vegetables in the pot, but scoot them to the side of the pot to make room to sear the chicken breast. Add in 1 large or 2 small chicken breasts and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp of pepper. Sear the chicken for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until each side is golden brown.
- Add in 4 cups of chicken broth. Season the broth with 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Bring the broth to simmer on low/medium heat and cook covered for about 45 minutes.
- Remove the chicken and add in a 9 oz package of fresh cheese tortellini. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes or until the tortellini are softened.
- Shred the chicken and add chicken back into the soup.
- Add the juice from 1/2 of a lemon, 2 tbsp of parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh parsley.
