Soup Season is here There’s nothing more comforting on a cold winter night than a big pot of delicious, satisfying soup. This recipe is no exception. If you’re looking for comfort food fast, this Tuscan Tortellini Soup is for you. Ready in only 30 minutes! Simply add your favorite tortellini to this chicken broth based soup with diced tomatoes, onion, chicken, white beans, heavy cream & spinach, and dinner is ready in a flash! To keep this recipe quick and easy, I use shredded rotisserie chicken, and refrigerated tortellini from my local grocery. This recipe makes 6 servings, but can easily be doubled to serve a larger family or for casual entertaining. Soup is the original one-pot meal. Throw the ingredients in, let it cook, and enjoy! If there are any leftovers, store the soup in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 3 days. You can reheat the soup in a saucepan on the stovetop over medium-low heat until warmed through; or use the microwave. So delicious served with crusty bread!
