Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 sweet onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 14 ounces fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 ½ cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 parmesan rind
- 4 to 5 cups chicken stock
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 9 ounces cheese tortellini (fresh or refrigerated)
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute to deepen the flavor.
- Stir in fire roasted diced tomatoes, shredded chicken, parmesan rind, and chicken stock. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes to let the flavors develop.
- Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package directions, usually 5–7 minutes, until tender.
- Remove the parmesan rind, then stir in the heavy cream.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil or parsley.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
- If you don’t have a parmesan rind, add 1–2 tablespoons grated parmesan directly to the soup.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, but the tortellini may soften — consider cooking them separately and adding fresh when reheating.
