Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the shredded chicken, chicken broth, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 4

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and add the broccoli florets to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still bright green.

Step 5

Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions (about 3-5 minutes for fresh tortellini or 8-10 minutes for frozen).

Step 6

Once the tortellini is cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the soup heat through for another 2-3 minutes, but do not boil.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to taste.

Step 8

Serve hot with grated parmesan cheese and fresh parsley sprinkled on top, if desired.
