Southwestern Chicken Tortellini Soup with Spinach

Step 1

In a large Dutch Oven or pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and cook until the onion sweats. Lightly salt and pepper.

Step 2

Add the chicken bites and continue to cook until the chicken bites lightly brown. Lightly salt and pepper. (If using the rotissiere chicken skip this step)

Step 3

Add the broth, oregano, petite cut tomatoes, and salsa. Bring to a gentle simmer. Now add the shredded rotisserie chicken and again bring to a simmer.

Step 4

Add the tortellini; bring to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered until the tortellini are tender -- about 7 to 8 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in spinach. It will wilt right away. Serve hot. If you like, sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top of this hearty soup. Your cook time is less than 30 minutes.
