Step 1

Sauté Onion: To a large soup pot over medium-high heat, add butter. Once melted, add onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes.

Step 2

Add Veggies and Seasonings: Add in carrots, celery, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add Broth Then Simmer: Pour in chicken broth, increase stovetop heat to high, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce stovetop heat to medium-low and simmer for at least 10 minutes so the veggies can soften.

Step 4

Add Chicken and Tortellini: Carefully add in chicken and tortellini, then stir. Increase stovetop heat to medium-high and cook for 3-5 minutes. (Reduce stovetop heat to medium or medium-low if soup begins to boil.)

Step 5

Add Salt and Pepper: Carefully taste test and add salt and pepper, based on taste preferences.

Step 6

Garnish and Serve: Ladle soup into bowls and, optionally, garnish with chopped parsley and pepper, then serve.
