Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large bell pepper chopped
- 2 Jalapeno peppers chopped
- 1 large yellow onion chopped
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 1.5 pounds chicken thighs chopped
- 15 ounces White beans drained
- 14.5 ounce can fire roasted tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cayenne powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon spicy chili flakes
- salt and pepper to taste
- 10 ounces cheese tortellini
- 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
- ¼ cup heavy cream optional (or use Mexican crema for a lighter touch)
- FOR SERVING: Extra chopped peppers fresh herbs, Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Heat a large pot to medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the peppers, onion and celery and cook them down about 5 minutes to soften them up.
- Add the garlic and chicken and cook another 5 minutes, stirring, until the chicken is cooked mostly through.
- Add the beans, fire roasted tomatoes, chicken broth and seasonings. Bring the mixture to a quick boil, then reduce the heat and simmer at least 20 minutes to let the flavors develop.
- While the tortellini soup is simmering, bring a small pot of water to a boil and boil the tortellini until they float, about 3-4 minutes or so. Drain.
- Add the tortellini noodles to the soup pot and stir in the spinach.
- Remove from heat and swirl in the heavy cream or crema, if using.
- Serve into bowls with your extra toppings.
Notes
- Serves 8
- Heat Factor: Medium, though it's HUGE on flavor. Try adding habanero pepper with the other peppers for additional heat.
