Chicken Tortellini Soup is a twist on chicken noodle soup with cheese tortellini and celery, carrots, and onion. This comforting dinner is a hit in our house.
CHICKEN TORTELLINI SOUP
I’ve had a package of tortellini sitting in my fridge for two weeks. My husband is big on no flour and no sugar so we’ve been eating all the healthy things.
Guess what? He went out of town and by day four of him being gone I had lost my mind and just wanted an easy dinner that everyone would eat without crying.
Classic chicken noodle soup with a cheese tortellini soup? Yes ma’am. No one cried. Everyone was full. I call it a success.
MIREPOIX
A mirepoix is the base to most soups and is onion, carrots, and celery with a ratio of 2:1:1. In this version we have more carrots than the traditional mirepoix and equal portions of onion and celery.
HERBS
You can definitely up the herbs in this soup but when feeding my kids I keep it simple.
