Ingredients
Soup Ingredients
- 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
- Heat Olive Oil and Sauté Garlic: 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 to 2 minutes.
- Add Blackened Seasoning and Flour: Stir in the blackened seasoning and organic all-purpose flour, mixing well until combined to create a flavorful base.
- Incorporate Stock and Thicken: Gradually add the vegetable or chicken stock, stirring frequently to prevent lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Add Tortellini, Cream, Wine, Chicken, and Kale: Pour in the cheese tortellini, heavy cream, white cooking wine, shredded chicken, and chopped kale. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
- Simmer the Soup: Let the soup simmer gently for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the soup thickens nicely and the tortellini are fully cooked and tender.
- Incorporate Cheeses: Stir in the freshly-grated parmesan and the mild or sharp cheddar cheese until fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Remove the pot from heat and ladle the soup into prepared bowls. Optionally, top with extra freshly-grated parmesan and serve with a side of bread for a complete meal.
Notes
- Adjust blackened seasoning amount according to your preference for spice and flavor.
- Use chicken or vegetable stock according to dietary preference.
- For a thicker soup, add an extra tablespoon of flour during the seasoning step.
- Fresh kale adds nutrition and texture, but spinach may be substituted if desired.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the cheesy, creamy texture at its best.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
