Instructions
- Prep the ingredients: peel and chop carrots into coins, dice onions into quarters, and slice mushrooms.
- In a dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the carrots, onions, and celery.
- Add mushrooms and shredded chicken after vegetables are nearing desired tenderness (approx. 8-10 minutes). NOTE: if you are not using rotisserie chicken, wait to add it before serving. Cooked chicken will dry out significantly if added before.
- Add seasonings and broth. Let simmer on low for 20-30 minutes. The longer you let it simmer, the better the flavors are!!
- Separately, prepare the tortellini according to package instructions and add to the soup once cooked. Remove the bay leaves and celery leaves prior to serving.
- Serve with warm bread, crackers, or croutons. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you are not using rotisserie chicken, wait to add it before serving. Cooked chicken will dry out significantly if added before.
- If you are not using rotisserie chicken, wait to add it before serving. Cooked chicken will dry out significantly if added before.
- DO NOT use low sodium chicken broth, it's not as flavorful so I don't recommend it. Instead I always opt for a regular chicken broth like this Pacific Foods brand.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
