This Chicken and Tortellini Soup is a broth based soup that is similar to Chicken Noodle Soup, except the noodles are swapped out for hearty cheese tortellini. My kids loved this, but who doesn’t like tortellini, right? This is a perfect cold-weather, weeknight dinner since it is warm and filling and only takes 20 minutes to make!

The vegetables in this Chicken and Tortellini Soup.

Any vegetables that you would associate with a good chicken noodle soup can be used in this soup. I kept it simple by using carrots and celery, but you could also add chopped onion, leeks, spinach, peas, zucchini, and corn. Adding the parsley at the end is optional.

The chicken.

Another way to keep this soup simple is to use canned chicken. I just used the canned chicken I found at Aldi, but I would recommend Swanson brand if your store carries it. Many stores place canned chicken in the aisle with canned tuna and canned ham. If you are not a fan of canned meat, you can use chopped or shredded boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are cooked with the vegetables or in the broth.
