In my house, we are huge soup fans because they are so versatile, warming, and comforting, and are relatively inexpensive to feed any size family. This easy chicken tortellini soup is a go-to recipe we love and cannot get enough of. It’s easy, loaded with shredded chicken, carrots, celery, spices, seasonings, and three-cheese tortellini. It almost reminds me of a chicken noodle soup mom always made for you when you were sick, but this one is even better. It’s all because of the three-cheese tortellini.

For the chicken, you can use boneless chicken breasts or even rotisserie chicken. To keep this soup even easier I used rotisserie chicken, but I will also include the directions on how to use chicken breasts in the recipe. It’s still incredibly easy but it does require a little more time. For the tortellini, my store usually carries tortellini in the deli section, but I couldn’t find it, so I used frozen tortellini. Either will work, and the directions will be the same.
