CHICKEN SOUP WITH TORTELLINI AND PESTO



Chicken Soup With Tortellini and Pesto image

One spoonful of our take on "instant soup," and you'll never want to buy the canned or dried kind again. It's simple; cook tortellini in chicken stock until tender, swirl with a hint of pesto and pile high with Parmesan. It's ready in 30 minutes or less, but tastes like took-all-day soup.

Time 20m

Yield 10 Cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups water
4 cups chicken broth
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups tortellini (refrigerated or frozen)
1 -2 cup cooked chicken (chopped or shredded)
salt and pepper, to taste
2 ounces basil pesto
parmesan cheese, to garnish

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or heavy saucepan, bring water and broth to a boil.

  • Ladle into bowls, then swirl in a dollop of pesto (about 1 teaspoon). Top generously with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Tip: For extra kick, substitute 1-2 cups spicy chicken sausage, crumbled and cooked. Or make it vegetarian with 1-2 cups fresh mozzarella balls (known as bocconcini) and 4 cups vegetable broth.
