Creamy Chicken Tortellini Soup

An easy one pot soup using rotisserie chicken and quick-cooking tortellini, made in 40 min start to finish!
Cozy, comforting, rich with an oh-so-creamy chicken broth…what more do you need here? Oh that’s right, cheesy tortellini. Yes, please! Not to mention, this tortellini soup is truly perfect for fall. It’s perfect for winter. It’s perfect for all seasons.
With mirepoix, garlic, some dried seasoning (we love Italian seasoning in a pinch btw), a little bit of white wine (chicken stock sub is great here) and super convenient, quick cooking ingredients like leftover rotisserie chicken and refrigerated tortellini, this comes together lightening fast in less than 40 min. It’s also a one-and-done meal in a single pot. Less dishes and less clean up means more time for soup.
