Instructions
list of 4 items
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Season chicken liberally with salt and pepper, and then add to the pot and sauté until browned (about
3-4 minutes). Remove chicken to a plate and set aside.
2. Add carrots, onion, and celery to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender (about 10 minutes). Stir in zucchini, tomatoes, garlic, basil,
oregano, thyme, and chicken broth. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil.
3. Stir in chicken and tortellini; reduce heat, and simmer until tortellini is cooked through (about 5-6 minutes). Add spinach and continue to cook and
stir for 1 more minute, or just until the spinach wilts.
4. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley or Parmesan cheese and serve!

Recipe Notes
Nutrition information provided below is just an estimate (based on the specific ingredients that I used and on the amount of soup that my recipe yielded).
Write list…
• The tortellini soup will last in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat the soup, simply warm in a saucepan over low heat until it reaches the
desired temperature. Be careful not to overcook the pasta!• Can you freeze this soup? Yes, but I recommend freezing the soup base before adding the tortellini.
If you freeze the soup with the pasta in it, the pasta tends to become mushy when thawed (not ideal)!• This easy tortellini soup recipe has about 150 calories
per cup. Since it’s loaded with lean protein and fresh veggies, this is a healthy, lighter way to enjoy your favorite cheese-filled pasta!• For a spicy
chicken tortellini soup, try adding crushed red pepper flakes to your bowl.• I used two heaping cups of baby spinach leaves, but you can certainly add
more if you like a lot of spinach in your soup.
