Key ingredients for this Creamy Tuscan Tortellini Soup
There’s so much room to play with your ingredients, from the tortolini, kale and chicken.
The pasta: You can find a decent amount of fresh and dried pasta at the grocery store filled with great flavours. I like to use a three-cheese filling, but the world is your tortellini!
The chicken: When picking the perfect rotisserie chicken, check the date or ask for one hot off the spit! If you’d like to roast your chicken, that works just as well!
The veg: We used fresh kale in our soup. It becomes tender and light when sauteed and roasted down, perfect for a cool fall day!
Nailing it every time!
This is a simple recipe with very few steps, but here are the ones you’ll want to ensure you do right!
A proper dice: When it comes to onion and garlic, make sure they’re as fine as you can get them. This is going to ensure an even distribution of flavour throughout the soup!
A base of colour – When you are sauteeing your onions and garlic, we want to develop flavour while keeping the aromatics from burning. Keep your heat low just to be safe!
Reduce a touch: The key to a creamy texture is to recuse the amount of liquid slightly. Keep it low and stir often to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom and burns!
Save this Creamy Tuscan Tortellini Soup for a rainy day!
This soup isn’t just filling, hearty, flavour, and easy to make; it’s also the perfect meal prep option.
Make a batch or two and stick it in the freezer, heat it to go and enjoy!
Make the soup and omit the pasta if you want a fresher meal prep option. Cook it fresh and add it in, and you won’t be able to tell it wasn’t all made on the spot!
