Tortellini Chicken Soup is a comforting blend of hearty ingredients and savory flavors, it makes for the perfect dish for cozy dinners or soothing sick days. This dish brings together tender shredded chicken, vibrant vegetables, and soft, cheese-filled tortellini in a warm and aromatic broth. With hints of Italian seasoning and the option to add a touch of crushed red pepper for a slight kick, this soup is both satisfying and versatile.
The rich chicken broth serves as the soul of the dish, complemented by fresh spinach or kale for a nutrient-packed finish. Topped with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan, each bowl offers a balance of textures and flavors that feel indulgent yet wholesome.
This soup is ideal for a quick weeknight dinner, ready in under 45 minutes, or as a meal-prep favorite to enjoy throughout the week. Pair it with crusty bread or garlic knots for a heartier meal, or serve it as an appetizer to a larger Italian-inspired feast.
