Directions
Chicken and Tortellini Soup, This recipe was an experiment that turned into a family tradition My family begs for it every time we get together I believe the tarragon is the magic ingredient Don’t use fresh tortellini; it breaks apart in the soup I’m estimating the amount of dried tortellini, as I usually use frozen My husband says this is even better the second day!, used this as a base recipe so I could try to concoct a soup out of the ingredients I had It was PERFECT for this purpose! I had made a chicken in the crock pot earlier this week, as well as stock with the bones the next day I had leftovers of both Since the chicken was already cooked and flavored, I didn’t use tarragon or basil, but I upped the garlic to 3 cloves, and salted this a little with celery salt I also cooked celery and carrots with the onion, because I wanted more veggies and can’t eat red peppers It was DELICIOUS!!! Lixa_R is spot on with the recommendation to boil the tortellinis in a seperate pot, and add them slowly , Yummy! Tasty, filling soup for a cold winter night I followed the recipe exactly, using a one pound pkg of cheese tortellini I served with garlic toast to complete the meal This recipe is quick enough for weeknights Looking forward to a piping hot bowl again tonight before we rush out to a hockey game!
