Creamy Tuscan Chicken +
Vegetable Soup

March 2, 2023

There are NO words. This soup has it all. 
 
The perfect creamy broth filled with herbs and crunchy vegetables. The chicken is cooked in the broth so the flavor is infused into the meat. Plus the tortellini, fresh spinach at the end and a sprinkle of cheese. 
 
Double the recipe and let’s eat. 

This might just be my new favorite soup. It’s filling, colorful and full of textures and SPINACH TORTELLINI.

Do you know what I love about spinach tortellini? You are sneaking a little bit of green leafy vegetables into a blanket of pasta and cheese. SO my kids eat it without even knowing. Yes, I’m a genius. 

How to change up this soup & make it your own!

Here are some simple ways to make it your own.

Don’t add the Parmesan cheese – it will still be an amazing creamy soup.
Change up the tortellini filling – sausage filled or just chees would be tasty. OR skip the tortellini and don’t add it.
Add in diced zucchini or summer squash.
Add a tablespoon of tomato paste or even a heaping spoon full of pesto.

Instructions

Using a large heavy duty stock pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add in the onion, leeks, celery, carrots, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Mix to combine and sauté for 2-4 minutes or until the onions and leeks start to soften.
Add in the chicken breasts and bone broth. Bring to a simmer and cover the pot. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 8 minutes covered. Remove the lid and chicken. Place the chicken on a cutting board to cool. Pour in the tortellini and cook for 4 minutes (See note at the end for cooking it separately).
Add in the roasted tomatoes, coconut milk and spinach. Pull the chicken apart with two forks. Add it back into the soup. Pour 1/2 of the grate cheese. Turn the heat off and mix to combine everything.
Serve with the remaining cheese.

Notes

Cook the tortellini separately if you are going to freeze some of the soup. I do this so the pasta doesn’t overcook when you thaw + reheat the soup. I also tend to do this anyway, so that people can serve themselves the amount of tortellini they prefer.
