Ingredients
- 1/2 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1, 14 oz can crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cups shredded or chopped cooked chicken, rotisserie works great
- 1, 10 oz package cheese tortellini
- Fresh basil for serving
Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp of avocado oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the tomato paste and cook it down for 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavor. Then pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken stock, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender (or use an immersion blender right in the pot) and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the blended soup back into the pot over medium-low heat. Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese until melted and silky.
- Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then add the tortellini and cooked chicken. Simmer for 6-8 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender and cooked through.
- Stir in the spinach and let it wilt for 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Ladle into bowls and top with fresh basil, an extra drizzle of olive oil, more parmesan, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
