Chicken Tortellini Soup is classic chicken noodle soup made with cheese tortellini and topped with Parmesan cheese! The perfect comfort food for a chilly day or when you’re feeling under the weather.
Tortellini makes homemade soup easy and delicious! Some of our other favorites are Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup and Sausage Tortellini Soup.
It’s below 80 degrees in Texas which means it’s officially soup weather!
In this last week alone I’ve made matzo ball soup, Lemon Chicken and Rice Soup, and this Chicken Tortellini Soup. For some reason, making soup is just so much more fun than making anything else.
This is your classic chicken noodle soup but made with cheese tortellini instead of regular noodles. And then topped with Parmesan cheese because cheese is always a good idea.
It’s quick and easy and perfect for a cold day or a day you just need a big bowl of comfort.
Ingredients
- Olive oil
- Butter
- White Onion
- Carrots
- Celery
- Garlic
- Chicken Broth – use low-sodium so you can control the amount of salt in soup.
- Shredded Chicken – use a rotisserie chicken to make life really easy!
- Frozen Cheese Tortellini – you can use fresh tortellini but it will probably take less time so keep an eye on top.
- Parmesan Cheese
- Parsley
Instructions
- Cook onion, carrot, and celery in olive oil and butter until softened
- Add garlic and cook until fragrant, just 30 seconds or so
- Add chicken broth and bring to a boil
- Add tortellini and cook according to package instructions
- Season to taste with salt and pepper
- Serve with Parmesan and fresh parsley on top
How Long Is It Good For?
This Chicken Tortellini Soup will be good for 3 – 4 days in the fridge. Store it in an airtight container and then reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave. If it seems too thick, add more chicken broth until it reaches it’s original consistency.
Can You Freeze It?
You can definitely freeze this Chicken Tortellini Soup. Let it cool completely before putting it in freezer-safe airtight containers. It will be good in the freezer for up to 3 – 4 months.
When you’re ready to serve it, defrost it overnight in the fridge and then warm it on the stovetop or even in the slow cooker. If it’s too thick, add chicken broth until it reaches the desired consistency.
What To Serve with Chicken Soup?
I think a delicious bread goes perfectly with homemade soup!
