Italian Broccoli Chicken Tortellini Soup (One Pot)
We could not believe how delicious this soup turned out. We just kept saying wow to each other. The overall soup is simple and we are getting in the healthy broccoli and pairing it with some yummy tortellini. Can’t miss with this combination.
For the broccoli make sure you are using all of the broccoli -stems chopped up and everything. All bite sized pieces. I used four cheese tortellini from Costco that we love. For the broth, I recommend chicken broth or vegetable broth here. Just make sure you garnish with olive oil and chili flakes. A squeeze of lemon is also great here too!
