Soup Base
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small white onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (15-ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Protein and Pasta
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 10 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini
Vegetables
- 2 cups fresh spinach
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced white onion and cook until translucent and tender, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add Liquids and Seasonings: Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth along with the canned diced tomatoes and white beans. Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer to combine all flavors.
- Incorporate Chicken, Tortellini, and Spinach: Stir in the cooked shredded chicken, refrigerated cheese tortellini, and fresh spinach. Continue to simmer the soup for 10 minutes allowing the tortellini to cook through and the soup to thicken slightly.
- Final Seasoning and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, flavorful Tuscan garlic tortellini soup.
Notes
- Make sure to drain and rinse the white beans to reduce excess sodium and improve flavor.
- Using refrigerated cheese tortellini cuts down cooking time and adds delicious cheesy texture to the soup.
- For a thicker soup, simmer a bit longer to reduce the liquid further.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop.
