Ingredients
Soup
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (8 oz.) package organic cheese tortellini
- 2 cups shredded chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons organic all-purpose flour
- 1-2 tablespoons Blackened seasoning
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken stock/broth
- 1 cup organic heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons white cooking wine
- 1 cup chopped kale, organic
- 1 cup freshly-grated parmesan cheese
- 1 ½ cups Mild or Sharp Cheddar Cheese, organic
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a medium-sized dutch oven pot over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add Seasoning and Flour: Stir in the blackened seasoning and all-purpose flour until well combined. This will help thicken the soup later.
- Add Stock: Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, stirring frequently to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Add Main Ingredients: Add the cheese tortellini, heavy cream, white cooking wine, shredded chicken, and chopped kale. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Simmer the Soup: Let the soup simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, or until the tortellini are cooked through and tender, and the soup has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Add Cheese: Stir in the freshly grated parmesan and cheddar cheese until fully melted and the soup becomes creamy and smooth.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately in bowls. Optionally, top with extra parmesan and serve with a side of bread for a hearty meal.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of blackened seasoning to your taste preference for spiciness.
- Use fresh or frozen tortellini; cooking time may vary slightly.
- For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock if available.
- Kale can be substituted with spinach or other leafy greens if desired.
- Serve with crusty bread or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
