- To Reheat: Thaw frozen soup in the refrigerator overnight, or place the ziplock bag in a bowl of hot water. Once thawed, transfer the soup to a pot or slow cooker and heat until warmed through. If you left out the tortellini, add it now and cook for a few minutes before serving.

Did you use 1 rotisserie chicken or 2?
I used 1 but 2 will work too if you would like more meat.
Made last night , with2 bites DH said “it’s a keeper “!! No spinach so used broccoli; used Italian sausage, thanks for recipe!!yummmmmmy!!!
I love soup! My wife turned her nose up when I told her what I was making. Ha! The Chef got the last laugh. Great soup everyone stuffed themselves. Super fast and really good all around. Used grilled boneless chicken and some pieces were a little tough after second cooking. The rotisserie chicken or a baked on the bone chicken would be better. Thanks for the recipe.
Love this soup – so flavorful! Sometimes I make the broth from leftover rotisserie with some spices and it is very flavorful. This whole family loves it!
The only weird thing is that is looks pink when done? I even tried draining the tomatoes. We omit the beans as my family doesn’t like them but that is the only modification. Any ideas why it looks that way? Thanks!
I just made this for the first time today and mine was pink too! I was kind of disappointed because the picture looks so yummy. It tasted okay but it was kinda weird because of the pink broth.
This is a great and easy soup to fix. Very tasty. Served with homemade Italian bread. Yummy! I do want to mention the timing on this soup is not correct (from start to finish). Total time to prepare and serve is minimum of 35 minutes. This includes chopping the onion and garlic and letting it nicely sauté to a buttery transparent. The tortellini takes a few minutes to cook at a simmer (best to simmer and not boil when using cream). I did not read through the reviews and others may have noted this. It’s still a super fast soup to fix and very suitable for guests.
What is the serving size associated with all the nutritional stats? One cup?
Yes, one cup.
Hi! Does this call for grated or shredded Parmesan?
I just want to make sure I use the right kind .
Thank you!
Okay, this is wonderfully delicious, without a doubt. Subtle, flavorful, elegant, and can’t wait to see how the flavors meld overnight !
I had beer can chicken on the grill leftover and it all went in….maybe two or three times as much and added more grated Parmesan at serving.
Served with french bread. Mwah ❣️
Followed the recipe exactly and my husband and I enjoyed this soup. This is definitely filling and will be routinely made in the winter months. Thanks for your recipe!
Very yummy and easy to make. Used two boneless chicken breasts. Cooked them in a little EVOL and S&P. Shredded once cooled. Only thing missing was fresh crusty bread. Definitely a make again.
This soup is now my husband staple for cold weather cooking. He is not much a soup person but loves this. Our family friends and everyone it’s to delicious to not share with the world.
Best soup I’ve ever made!!! I’ve gotten so many people hooked on it!!! It’s unique and absolutely delicious.
Great soup! And quick to make.
This is so good. It’s the second time I’ve made it and we all love it. This time i added little meatballs too which were delicious. This is a very hearty soup, definitely 5 stars!
Does the spinach need to be fresh or can it be frozen?
Either way is great. I used fresh spinach. If you use frozen spinach I recommend straining the spinach ahead of time before adding it to the soup.
I LOVE this recipe! I’ve made it 3 times already. It even froze well last time I made it. Thank you!!
