Beckas Chicken Tortellini Soup

Yummy chicken soup with tortellini…something I’ve ‘thrown together’ for years now. It has always been a favorite when I’ve made if for potlucks. It also tastes very good with egg noodles (homemade or store-bought) instead of tortellini.

Step: 1

Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add chicken and garlic; cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step: 2

Pour chicken broth, basil, thyme, rosemary, and paprika into the pot with the chicken; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add carrots, celery, corn, and onion; continue to boil until carrots are crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes.

Step: 3

Pour tortellini into the soup pot and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes and add green onions and spinach. Continue cooking until tortellini are tender, about 2 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.

The name of “stew” can process to both a dish and a cooking method. Stewing involves slowly cooking chunks of meat, vegetables or beans in a tastefull liquid . It’s similar to braising, instead it does have a few notable differences. The meat is chopped into smaller pieces but of being cooked all of it , and the liquid completely covers the essential in a stew as compared to a braise’s halfway all of it . When meat or raw fruit are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a perception for making a rib-sticking meal that warms you up on a freezing , winter day. It’s right that ; a bowl of classic beef stew does have warming properties , but stew’s cozy factor more than a way beyond preserving you from the cold . It’s all about those tender chunks of food and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The way they come together creates the ultimate comfort food, no matter the weather.
