Easy Chicken & Cheese Tortellini Soup
With the temperatures getting colder, this is an easy and hearty soup for any dinner. Rotisserie chicken, carrots, celery and onions cooked in chicken broth with cheese tortellini. It was even delicious the next day!
In a large pot, add the chicken broth and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Dice the onion small and add to the broth.
Slice the carrots in about 1/4” pieces and add to the broth.
Slice the celery in about 1/4” pieces and add to the broth. Add the parsley, rosemary, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Bring the broth back to a boil, turn to a simmer, cover and cook until the veggies are tender.
Add the cooked chicken to the broth and cook a few minutes until hot. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until it melts.
Add the tortellini and cook according to the package directions. Remove bay leaves and discard. Garnish with fresh parsley, optional.

this looks really good
Thank you Beth!
I do like the parmesan cheese
It’s funny you say that because after I posted it I thought I should have added even more parmesan on the top, next time!
Looks 👀 delicious 😋👍🏼
Thank you Randy!
You’re welcome
I love soup! Looks delicious!
Thank you Betty!
I love making soup with leftover rotisserie chicken. I also use the bones and carcass in the broth then strain it out after. It added extra rich flavour.
I actually buy the rotisserie chicken and wrap it up air tight then freeze it for meals, unless of course I am making the broth.
Call them to the table!
Thank you Dorothy!
Perfect for the first weekend in November!
Yes and it made enough for leftovers for the next day too. Thank you Mary!
Delicious-looking homemade soup Diane … I see you put those tortellinis to good use. 🙂

Soup weather is on the way and this sounds soul warming.
Thank you Linda!
All the delicious ingredients in one soup – it can only be tasty! We make a similar soup but have never used tortellini … we will definitely try it with the next pot of soup.
It was very hearty and even delicious the next day. Thank you Corna!
