Ingredients

  • 2 medium white onions cut into quarters
  • 3-5 large carrots peeled
  • 4 stalks of celery diced
  • 1 stick of butter
  • handful of washed celery leaves used for seasonings, removed before serving
  • 1 package 16oz sliced mushrooms
  • 2 boxes of chicken broth* NOT low sodium
  • 1 rotisserie chicken alt: 2 cups diced chicken breast
  • 1 package cheese tortellini
  • 1 tablespoon allspice
  • 3 tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 bay leaves for extra flavor
  • salt and pepper to taste I use about 1 teaspoon of each

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prep the ingredients: peel and chop carrots into coins, dice onions into quarters, and slice mushrooms.
  2. In a dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the carrots, onions, and celery.
  3. 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.
  4. Add seasonings and broth. Let simmer on low for 20-30 minutes. The longer you let it simmer, the better the flavors are!!
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
