Creamy Chicken, Spinach and Tortellini Soup image

It is turning cold here in AK fast, so in desperate need of a warming, filling dinner in a hurry, I threw this hearty soup together with ingredients I had on hand. DH absolutely loved it and requested that it become a regular part of our winter soup rotation :)

1 teaspoon herbes de provence (or rosemary)
1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes

1 dash nutmeg
salt and pepper
9 ounces refrigerated tortellini (sweet sausage)
8 cups chicken stock (or 8 cups water and 8 t chicken bullion or 8 cups canned chicken broth)
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon (optional, I like the extra chicken flavor)

  • Add chicken stock (or broth, or water and bullion) and and extra bullion if using. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add uncooked tortellini and simmer according to package directions in the soup.
  • Add cream of chicken soup, chicken (I use leftover roast tenderloins that had been marinated in buttermilk, garlic, thyme, dijon mustard and salt), and spinach and simmer until heated through. Add milk and simmer just until heated. Serve and enjoy!

This soup is the perfect comfort food! It's creamy, flavorful, and filling. I love to serve it with a side of crusty bread.

Overall, I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped carrots and celery for extra flavor.

I love this soup! It's so creamy and flavorful. I always add extra spinach because I love the way it wilts in the soup.

This soup was easy to make and tasted great! I used frozen tortellini and it still turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
