Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish optional

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • cutting board
  • Chef's knife
  • wooden spoon
  • Ladle

Method
 

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  3. Stir in the tortellini and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, garlic, and dried thyme. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Simmer the soup for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded and the soup has thickened slightly.
  6. Ladle the creamy chicken tortellini soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

For best results, simmer the chicken in the broth first to ensure it remains tender and juicy. Gradually incorporating the heavy cream at the end helps achieve the desired velvety texture without making the soup overly rich. The addition of garlic and dried thyme adds depth of flavor to the soup.
