Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken shredded (about 3 cups)
- 8 cups chicken broth homemade or store-bought
- 1 package 9 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 carrots peeled and diced
- 2 celery stalks diced
- 1 lemon zest and juice
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or basil for garnish optional
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Stir in the minced garlic and dried thyme. Continue to sauté for another minute or until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the vegetables to become tender.
- Add the refrigerated cheese tortellini to the simmering broth. Cook according to the package instructions, typically for about 4-6 minutes or until the tortellini float to the surface and are cooked through.
- Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, ensuring the chicken is heated through.
- Grate the zest from the lemon and squeeze its juice into the soup. This adds a refreshing citrusy flavor to the soup. Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your taste.
- Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Remember that the rotisserie chicken and cheese tortellini can add some saltiness, so be cautious not to over-salt.
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired for an extra burst of flavor and color.
- Serve your Lemon Chicken Tortellini Soup hot, and savor the delightful combination of flavors. It's comforting, zesty, and perfect for a satisfying meal.
- This easy-to-make soup is a crowd-pleaser and can be ready in under 30 minutes. It's a fantastic way to enjoy the flavors of rotisserie chicken and the zing of lemon in a comforting bowl of goodness.
