30 Minute Chicken Tortellini Soup

Hey Christine, thanks for having me, I'm excited to share a recipe with you and your readers! To introduce myself, my name is Deb and my blog is Bowl Me Over. On my blog I share delicious recipes that often end up in a bowl (hence the name Bowl Me Over). I love sharing quick, lighter style meals like Pasta Primavera or a great Ramen Bowl. However I occasionally throw in something delicious like this amazing Blueberry Cobbler - because life is all about balance, right? 😉

Because the seasons are changing, I decided to share an easy recipe for Chicken Tortellini Soup!

30 Minute Chicken Tortellini Soup

This delicious soup takes less than 30 minutes to make and is simple and delicious! Using ordinary ingredients that you may even have on hand like carrots, celery, rotisserie chicken, garlic, tortellini, chicken stock and spinach.

Here's what you'll need to put this easy soup together!

I love that it's full of veggies and though it's light, this meal is still hearty and satisfying! 30 Minute Chicken Tortellini Soup is easy to put together - you'll start by dicing the onion, peel and dice the carrot, dice the celery. Then mince the garlic.

Dice or shred the cooked chicken, give the spinach a rough chop, mince some fresh herbs.

Heat a heavy bottom stock pan over medium heat. When hot, add a tablespoon of olive oil and then the onions and carrots. Sauté stirring occasionally for a couple minutes, then add the celery.

Grab your spoon, you'll love this easy soup!

When the veggies are lightly browned add the minced garlic and give it a good stir. It will only take about 30 seconds and you'll begin to smell the garlic. Deglaze the pan with a splash of wine, scraping all of the lovely bits off the bottom of the pan.

Increase the heat to high and add the chicken stock and water, bring to a boil - when boiling add the tortellini. Cook until just al dente. Remove from heat and stir in the chicken, spinach and herbs. Finish with a squeeze of lemon.

Dinner is done! How easy is that?

Here's what I always say, soup is good food!

Serve this up with some delicious crusty bread and a great glass of wine! Cheers to an easy weeknight dinner!
