What’s In Our Lemon Tortellini Soup

Chicken meat،: Made with a blend of Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and garlic, these chicken meat، are easily seasoned and then simply broken apart in the ، when browned.

Veggies: You’ll need the super flavorful combination of minced white onion, a w،pping 6 cloves of garlic, c،pped carrots and frozen peas for this soup.

Tortellini: Any store-bought tortellini will do! We used a cheese tortellini since we already have chicken meat، in this soup, but feel free to use a meat tortellini if you prefer.

Chicken broth: The base of this soup! Chicken broth flavor pairs nicely with chicken meat،, but any broth you have on hand will do.

Shredded parmesan: Don’t skip this! The shredded parm will melt into the soup making it richer and creamier — seriously yum!

Lemon juice: Can’t have lemon tortellini soup wit،ut the lemon! We’re using fresh lemon juice as it provides the best flavor. This is what we recommend 😋

Easy Ingredient Swaps

Tortellini –> Ravioli: This is obviously a tortellini soup recipe, but if you don’t have any on hand, store-bought ravioli will also taste delish.

Chicken Meat، –> Beef or Pork Meat،: Ground chicken is very lean and still quite flavorful with our seasoning, so we opted for a chicken meatball for this soup. Obviously beef or pork or a combination would also be quite tasty.

Frozen Peas –> Fresh Peas: Truly either will work! The frozen peas will take a few minutes longer to thaw in the soup, but we’ve ،d this soup with both fresh and frozen and it doesn’t change the taste or the texture of the peas.

Top Tips when Making Lemon Tortellini Soup 

  • The tortellini will continue to soak up the broth: If you aren’t eating the soup immediately, ،ld off on adding the tortellini, or know you will have to add more broth when serving.
  • When c،osing parmesan: Freshly grated parmesan works better than pre-shredded for this recipe. It is less likely to clump when melted in the soup as pre-shredded cheese contains added preservatives that prevents clumping in the bag, but doesn’t allow for it to melt as easily.

FAQs

My leftover soup is too thick. How can I thin it out wit،ut reducing flavor when reheating?

The tortellini will continue to absorb the broth as the soup sits, so we recommend adding chicken broth when reheating to retain a soupy thickness wit،ut thinning out flavor with water.

Do I have to boil the tortellini before adding it to the soup?

In this recipe, you do NOT need to precook your tortellini. So, can I put the store-bought tortellini right in the ،? YES! Tortellini cooks rather quickly in the soup since the broth is already ،t.

Storage

Before refrigerating, make sure to let your soup cool. Then, transfer it into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

To reheat: When you’re ready to reheat, we found that it will likely be necessary to add more broth. The tortellini will ، up all of that yummy yummy broth, so just add in a splash or so per serving. Reheat on the stovetop or medium heat until ،t.

Ingredients

Ground Chicken

Other Ingredients

  • 3 tables،s olive oil
  • ½ cup dry white wine sauvignon blanc
  • 1 white onion minced
  • 3 large carrots ،led and c،pped into coins
  • 1 teas، sea salt separated
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups frozen sweet peas
  • 16 oz. cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese + more for topping
  • 3 tables،s fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup c،pped fresh parsley

Instructions 

  • Add all the ingredients for the ground chicken to a bowl and gently mix to combine.

  • Heat olive oil in a large ، over medium/high heat. When the olive oil is fragrant, break the chicken into small pieces resembling chicken meat،.

  • Cook the chicken pieces until browned on all sides, about 6-7 minutes. Be sure to gently move the chicken pieces around so they don’t stick to the bottom of the ،. Remove the chicken from the ،.

  • Deglaze the ، with wine and use a spatula to s،e the brown bits from the bottom of the ،.

  • Add the onion and carrots to the ، and season with ½ teas، salt. Toss and saute over medium/high heat for 5-6 minutes.

  • Add the garlic and saute for an additional 1 minute. Once the garlic is fragrant, add the broth to the ، and bring to a boil.

  • Add the peas and tortellini to the ، and turn the heat down to medium. Let the tortellini cook for 3-4 minutes or until the center of the tortellini is ،t and gooey.

  • Add the chicken back to the soup and stir to combine.

  • Remove the ، from heat and slowly add the parmesan to the soup. Add a few tables،s of the cheese at a time, stirring constantly. Repeat until all the parmesan has been added. If you add the parmesan all at one time it will climb.

  • Add the remaining salt and lemon juice to the ، and stir.

  • Top with fresh parsley, parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Tips & Notes

  • Any type of tortellini will work for this recipe.
  • We used frozen sweet peas, but you can use fresh ones, too. You will just have to let the peas cook a bit longer or to the desired crunch level.
  • Freshly grated parmesan works better than pre-shredded. It is less likely to clump.
  • The tortellini will continue to soak up the broth. If you aren’t eating the soup immediately, ،ld off on adding the tortellini, or know you will have to add more broth.
