Chicken Tortellini Soup
Pulled from the Recipe Critic. This is Lyd's Stove Top version. There is also a slow cooker version.
Ingredients:
3 boneless chicken breasts
3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
3 stalks celery, diced
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup water
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, or more to taste
20 oz cheese tortellini
chopped fresh parsley for serving, if desired
salt and pepper to taste
Procedures:
Saute the chicken breasts in EVOO, remove and cut into bite-sized pieces. Saute chopped onions, carrots and celery in the same pan until tender, adding the garlic for the last minute or so. Transfer all to a large soup/stock pot. Add the chicken borth, water, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil and simmer for a couple of hours. Toward the end of the cooking cycle, add the tortellini to heat through. Discard the bay leaves and season to taste.
