My cookbook is here! 
This soup is so comforting, nutritious and delicious.
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!

This turned out amazing! Your one pot chicken and rice recipe is so comforting and easy to follow — I made it tonight and it came out perfect.
I even saved money by picking up the ingredients at Publix with their BOGO deals. Love how your site always makes healthy meals feel doable.
I made this exactly as is including all the ends steps like drizzle with evoo, peppers, lemon, cheese.
Added the spices when the broccoli was cooking.
This was such a simple and delicious recipe! Everyone had seconds.
