How to Make Chicken Broccoli Tortellini Soup

INGREDIENTS –

• cheese tortellini
• butter
• chopped onion
• flour
• milk
• chicken broth
• shredded cooked chicken
• chopped broccoli
• shredded cheese
• salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS –

BOIL. Cook the tortellini according to the package directions, then drain and set aside.

The tortellini cooks in just a few minutes, and you can make the rest of the soup while you’re waiting for the pasta water to boil. The whole meal is ready in less than thirty minutes, which makes it perfect for busy families!

SAUTE THE ONIONS. While the tortellini is cooking, melt the butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Stir in the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.

MAKE A ROUX. Stir in the flour to form a paste, and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.

Slowly whisk in the milk, followed by the chicken broth, whisking to prevent any lumps. Bring the soup to a simmer, then add the chicken and broccoli. Cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.

SERVE. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cheese and tortellini. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, taste, and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately with bread or crackers.

STORE. Save any extra soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
