Chicken Tortellini Soup

Filed Under: main dish, soup Tagged With: broccoli, carrot, chicken, corn, dinner

Warm up your day with a bowl of Chicken Tortellini Soup, creamy broth filled with shredded chicken, cheese tortellini, carrots, broccoli and corn.

Chicken Tortellini Soup

Only in Florida can you start the week with temperatures in the 50’s, then have a couple of 80º days followed by more 50º weather. With that said I love soup, so I take full advantage of those rare cold days we have and make a big old batch to warm us up right. I’m pretty sure if we lived somewhere cold I would completely exist on soup and hot chocolate during the fall and winter months.

When it comes to homemade soup my go to is always chicken, there is just something so comforting about chicken soup. My husband isn’t the biggest fan of soup for dinner, so I usually try to make it a heartier soup to satisfy his need for a more filling meal. Filled with shredded chicken, cheese tortellini and lots of veggies, this is one soup your whole family can enjoy.

Of course in my opinion soup is always better when served with a side of grilled cheese, which I highly recommend here. Grilled cheese or not, for lunch or for dinner I hope you’ll enjoy this soup as much as we have!

    You can never go wrong with soup in my opinion, no matter how hot it is! Lol. I eat it all year round, but it’s totally perfect this time of year. And where we are, we’re definitely not hitting the 80s anymore!
