Ingredients
- 1 - 1.5 lbs chicken breasts cut into 1 inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 onion diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 28 oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 2 celery sticks diced
- 2 carrots cut into rondelles
- 1 cup sun dried tomatoes drained from oil and chopped
- 4 cups chicken broth low sodium
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream or milk
- 10 oz cheese tortellini
- 5 cups fresh spinach
Cornstarch Slurry Optional:
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Place a large saucepan or dutch oven on the stove over medium heat.
- Once hot, add the butter and melt. Add chicken cubes and cook until golden brown.
- Next, add dried herbs and seasoning: Italian seasoning, oregano, thyme, pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes, stirring.
- Add diced onion and garlic, cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender and translucent.
- Add the rest of the veggies: bell pepper, celery, carrots, canned tomatoes, and sun-dried tomatoes.
- Then, add the chicken broth and cream, stir to combine.
- On medium heat, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the cheese tortellini, stir and cook until tender on low-medium heat. Stir occasionally. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.
- If the soup is too thin for your liking and you would prefer a thicker broth, mix in a small bowl or cup the cornstarch with the water until fully combined and add the mixture to the soup with the tortellini.
- Also, if the soup is still too thin, add another round of cornstarch slurry and simmer for 5 more minutes on low heat. Careful as the soup will thicken more once it starts to cool.
- Once the tortellini are cooked, reduce heat to low and fold in fresh spinach. Fully submerge it under the liquid and gently stir. Cook just for a few minutes, until spinach is wilted.
- Remove soup from heat and serve garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
