Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for about 4–5 minutes until soft and translucent.

2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Pour in the chicken broth and add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.

4. Add shredded chicken, white beans, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer for about 5 minutes to build flavor.

5. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package directions, usually 5–7 minutes.

6. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream.

7. Add the spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes until wilted.

8. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with grated Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Rotisserie chicken works perfectly for this recipe and saves time while adding extra flavor.

Avoid boiling the soup after adding the cream because high heat can cause the dairy to separate.

If the soup thickens when stored in the refrigerator, simply stir in a little broth or cream when reheating.
