This recipe puts a different spin on traditional chicken noodle soup. I like to use cheese tortellini instead of plain noodles for a pleasant and filling change of pace. This easy creation has become a family favorite that I can count on often. -Jean Atherly, Red Lodge, Montana

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN TORTELLINI TOMATO SOUP



Slow Cooker Chicken Tortellini Tomato Soup image

This satisfying soup is an excellent one-pot dinner to come home to after a long day. It takes only 10 minutes to throw it together in the morning and 10 minutes to finish it in the evening. If you plan to be away for eight hours or more, set the cook time for four hours, then set the slow cooker to auto-switch to warm for the remaining time. (This prevents overcooking.) If you'll be home when the soup is done and can remove it from the heat, it's best to cook the chicken for five to six hours. Add only the tortellini you will eat right away. Leftover tortellini will get mushy.

Time 6h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, preferably aged
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano (from about 3 to 4 sprigs) or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1 3/4 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
5 ounces baby spinach
1 (8- to 10-ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
1 cup grated Parmesan, for serving
Torn or sliced fresh basil, for serving
Black pepper, for serving

Steps:

  • In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, whisk together the stock, wine and tomato paste until the paste dissolves. Stir in the tomatoes, vinegar, garlic, oregano, onion powder, red-pepper flakes and salt. (If you are using unsalted stock, add an additional 1/2 teaspoon salt.) Add the chicken and stir to combine. Cook on low until the chicken is very tender and the flavors are blended, 5 to 6 hours.
  • Increase the heat to high for 10 minutes. Coarsely shred the chicken with two forks, pressing pieces of chicken against the side of the slow cooker to break the thighs apart. Stir in the spinach so that it wilts into the soup.
  • Stir in the tortellini, cover the slow cooker, and cook until the tortellini are al dente and warmed through, about 3 minutes. Taste the soup and add salt if it tastes flat. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with Parmesan, basil and black pepper.

QUICK CHICKEN TORTELLINI SOUP

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 chicken wings
3 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (about 2 1/2 pounds)
3 carrots, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
2 shallots, minced
Couple splashes dry sherry
24 cups (6 quarts) good-quality, low-sodium chicken stock
4 sprigs fresh thyme, chopped
1 bay leaf
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, zested and juiced, plus lemon wedges, for garnish
2 cups cheese tortellini
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or soup pot to medium heat and add the oil. Put the chicken wings and breasts in skin-side down and cook without moving until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside the chicken.
  • Add the carrots, celery and shallots. Saute until the shallots are translucent, about 10 minutes, stirring all the while. Deglaze with the dry sherry and scrape up any bits off the bottom. Add the stock, fresh thyme and bay leaf, return the chicken to the pot and bring to a low simmer; simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Set aside the chicken to cool on a plate.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Shred the chicken breasts and whatever can be salvaged from the wings and pour any reserved juices back into the soup pot. Add in the chicken and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Just before serving, add in the lemon zest and juice to taste.
  • Cook the tortellini in the salted water just until al dente.
  • Put some tortellini in each individual bowl, then ladle the soup over. Serve immediately to retain the al dente quality of the tortellini. Garnish with a wedge of lemon and fresh parsley.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your soup taste better. Use organic or free-range chicken, fresh vegetables, and a good quality chicken broth.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much chicken or vegetables to the pot, they won't cook evenly. Add the ingredients in batches, if necessary.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the better it will taste.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten up the flavors.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
