CHICKEN SOUP WITH TORTELLINI AND PESTO



Chicken Soup With Tortellini and Pesto image

One spoonful of our take on "instant soup," and you'll never want to buy the canned or dried kind again. It's simple; cook tortellini in chicken stock until tender, swirl with a hint of pesto and pile high with Parmesan. It's ready in 30 minutes or less, but tastes like took-all-day soup.

Time 20m

Yield 10 Cups, 6-8 serving(s)

1 -2 cup cooked chicken (chopped or shredded)
