Easy Chicken Tortellini Soup

By kmontag99

“Easy” is no exaggeration. Made with fresh or frozen tortellini and shredded rotisserie chicken, this yummy soup literally cooks up in 15-20 minutes, with only about 2 minutes of that time being prep. And it was delicious!! I added in some extra rosemary to season the broth, which I loved. And for any of you who love broth, I’d definitely recommend adding in an extra 3-4 cups of chicken broth (along with some extra rosemary, salt and pepper). But otherwise, this was great “as is”!

Definitely a terrific “simple” soup to warm you up on a cold day…even if that falls in the middle of May! :)
