CHICKEN TORTELLINI FLORENTINE SOUP

Steps:

• In a large stockpot cook the tortellini according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
• In the same pan combine the broth and Alfredo sauce. You can use store bought broth and Alfredo sauce or homemade. Either way it will turn out great. Stir in the chicken and tomato strips. Heat to boiling and then reduce the heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
• Add the cooked tortellini and spinach. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to heat through and wilt the spinach.Even after making this I felt that it needed just a little more liquid. So as not to lose the creamy texture I added heavy cream until I got the consistency I was looking for. Milk or broth would also work.
• Sprinkle each serving with Parmesan cheese and serve with warm garlic bread.

QUICK CHICKEN TORTELLINI SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or soup pot to medium heat and add the oil. Put the chicken wings and breasts in skin-side down and cook without moving until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside the chicken.
• Add the carrots, celery and shallots. Saute until the shallots are translucent, about 10 minutes, stirring all the while. Deglaze with the dry sherry and scrape up any bits off the bottom. Add the stock, fresh thyme and bay leaf, return the chicken to the pot and bring to a low simmer; simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Set aside the chicken to cool on a plate.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Shred the chicken breasts and whatever can be salvaged from the wings and pour any reserved juices back into the soup pot. Add in the chicken and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Just before serving, add in the lemon zest and juice to taste.
• Cook the tortellini in the salted water just until al dente.
• Put some tortellini in each individual bowl, then ladle the soup over. Serve immediately to retain the al dente quality of the tortellini. Garnish with a wedge of lemon and fresh parsley.
