Easy Chicken Tortellini Soup (One Pot)
Description
The soup starts by softening chopped carrots in neutral oil, then cooking chicken pieces in chicken broth and water, creating a flavored base. Freshly chopped green onions and dill add bright herbaceous notes as the soup simmers. Cheese tortellini is added last to cook through, bringing tender pasta pockets that complement the broth and chicken. Seasoning with salt and pepper adjusts the final taste. The method keeps preparation straightforward and cleanup minimal by combining all steps in one pot. The flavors are mild and balanced, emphasizing fresh herbs and the blend of chicken and pasta.
