Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Dairy
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup grated asiago cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 8 ounces fresh mushrooms (button or cremini), chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Others
- 9 ounces cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- Olive oil for sautéing
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and chop the mushrooms, onion, and garlic to have everything ready for cooking.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes, then add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Cook Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, roughly 7 minutes, ensuring it is cooked through.
- Add Mushrooms: Stir in the chopped mushrooms and sauté them until softened and their moisture has reduced, about 5 minutes.
- Simmer Broth: Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer to meld the flavors together.
- Cook Tortellini: Add the cheese tortellini to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, approximately 4 to 6 minutes, until tender.
- Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and grated asiago cheese until the cheese melts and the soup becomes creamy and smooth. Serve the soup hot immediately.
Notes
- Use low-sodium chicken broth to control the salt level in the soup.
- Fresh tortellini gives the best texture, but frozen works well too.
- Adjust cream quantity for desired richness or make it lighter by substituting half-and-half.
- For extra flavor, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil.
- To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free tortellini.
