rotesserie chicken soup

Spicy chicken soup with fresh tortellini pasta and baby spinach. The zest comes from the green chiles in the petite tomatoes plus the chunky salsa. Tasty and quick to make.&nbsp;

Southwestern Chicken Tortellini Soup with Spinach

chicken

oz baby spinach

oz fresh cheese tortellini

chicken broth or vegetable stock

garlic (minced)

onion (chopped)

olive oil

oregano

14 oz. petite cut tomatoes with green chiles

salt (to taste)

black pepper (to taste)

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. &nbsp;

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)

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.&nbsp;

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

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.

These yummy looking tortellini sound so satisfying! I never would have thought to combine tortellini with salsa and I can't wait to try!

Hi Marisa,   YEAH!  Soup time just around the corner with fall approaching......even though we love soup year round.  This recipe sounds delish!  Gary loves the heat.  I never thought about using salsa....good Idea!   I’ve always used spicy rotel  tomatoes.  I thought about mom’s many recipes.....I loved them all.  Also, I like the option offered with printable recipes...great idea and saves time when printing your recipes.  Thank you????

This looks so so cozy for the winter! I’ve been meaning to make more soups lately so I will definitely give this a try!

I love this soup and all of the variations.  Thanks for sharing!  And I hope the weather improved.

I love adding pasta to my chicken soup! Using tortellini just adds that many more options depending on what kind of tortellini you use! Love the recipe suggestions for different styles you provide!

I like the idea of using rotisserie chicken here, shreds so quickly. Tortellini soup is one of my favorite anyways, love it!

This is such a great soup! It's a meal all in its self. Perfect for cold weather comfort food.

What a nice recipe for the cold weather! Who can refuse chicken soup in the winter, especially where I live where temperatures can dip really low. Wholesome and warming! And I love the fact that you've given so many different variations on it.

This looks fantastic! I love getting new soup recipes especially this time of year! I’ll be adding your recipe to the list.

Oh my goodness, I would be so disappointed if I was heading south and it was that cold!  Looks like you made the best of the situation with this amazing soup!
