Ingredients

  • 1 large can chicken broth
  • 1 package cheese or meat filled frozen tortellini
  • Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Pour chicken broth into a saucepan.
  2. Add poultry seasoning to the broth and bring it to a boil.
  3. Add 3/4 of the frozen tortellini to the boiling broth.
  4. Simmer for about 7 to 8 minutes.
  5. Serve in soup bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Tips & Substitutions

For added flavor, consider incorporating diced vegetables like carrots or spinach into the soup. If you don’t have tortellini on hand, any small pasta shape will work as a substitute. For a heartier version, add shredded rotisserie chicken. Adjust seasonings to your taste, perhaps adding garlic or onion powder for depth. This soup is reminiscent of Chicken recipes for its comforting qualities.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this delicious soup with a side of crusty bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or parsley for a pop of color and flavor. For a delightful twist, try it alongside the Turkey-In-The-Straw Soup for a comforting dinner spread.

Storage & Reheating

Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it on the stovetop over medium heat until heated through. You can also microwave it in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring occasionally. If the soup thickens, add a splash of broth or water to restore its consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use homemade chicken broth instead of canned?

Absolutely! Homemade chicken broth will enhance the flavor of the soup and make it even more delicious. Just ensure it's well-seasoned and flavorful. If using homemade broth, you might want to adjust the seasoning levels as canned broth can sometimes be saltier.

How can I make this soup vegetarian?

To make this soup vegetarian, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth and use cheese-filled tortellini instead of meat-filled. This keeps the dish hearty and flavorful while catering to vegetarian diets. You can also add more vegetables to enrich the soup.

Can I freeze the soup for later?

Yes, you can freeze this soup! However, it's best to freeze it before adding the tortellini, as pasta can become mushy when thawed. Store the broth in airtight containers for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat before adding freshly cooked tortellini.
