Notes

Recipe Tips

Reheating - The pasta will soak up the broth. When reheating, I like to add more chicken broth.
Prepare Veggies - Cut vegetables the same size so they all cook evenly. I prefer larger chunks so they don't get mushy during cooking or when reheated.
Shred Chicken - Shred the chicken with two forks or you can Learn to Shred Chicken with a hand Mixer.

Variations Ideas

Chicken - Use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Try rotisserie chicken to save even more time. You can even use leftover chicken and this recipe is even easier.
Chicken Variations - Substitute ground chicken or ground pork in this recipe.
Spices - Add 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning for a new flavor.
Creamy Texture - Make creamy chicken tortellini soup and add heavy cream to the soup.
Change Tortellini - Try different types of tortellini. Some ideas include: mushroom, beef and more. You can even use frozen tortellini
Vegetables - Add chopped onions, fresh spinach, kale, peas,corn, zucchini and diced tomatoes to the veggies in the soup. This adds even more flavor.
