Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 units celery stalks, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
• 12 ounces fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup heavy cream (optional)
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated (optional, for serving)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Add the shredded cooked chicken, broccoli florets, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.

Step 6

Stir in the tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, usually 4-5 minutes for fresh tortellini or slightly longer for frozen.

Step 7

If desired, reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream for a richer, creamier soup. Heat through without boiling.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, if desired.
