Here's a simple swap to take your chicken noodle soup to the next level: Use cheese-filled tortellini instead. It will make the classic even more comforting.
Ingredients
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
3 stalks celery, sliced
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
3 qt. chicken broth
3 1/2 c. shredded rotisserie chicken
1 (20-oz.) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley
Grated parmesan cheese, to serve
Direction
In a medium Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery, and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables start to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes, cooking until fragrant, 1 minute.
2Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the chicken and tortellini and simmer until the chicken is warmed through and the tortellini is tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the fresh parsley and serve hot with grated parmesan cheese.
