Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken cooked, shredded, or diced
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup carrots peeled, diced
- 1 cup celery diced
- 1 large onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 19 ounces cheese tortellini refrigerated or frozen
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 4 cups spinach fresh
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Lemon juice for garnish when serving.
Instructions
- In the crock pot, place the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, chicken, broth, and spices. Cook on low 4-6 hours or on high 2-3 hours.
- In the last 30 minutes, shred the chicken if desired, and add the tortellini. 15 minutes before serving, add the spinach. Stir to combine.
- Cook for 5-10 minutes more. Serve warm, garnish with parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Notes
- Make prep easier - use rotisserie chicken for more flavor and less work, or prep vegetables ahead of time
- Switch it up - try mushroom or spinach-cheese tortellini, add zucchini or tomatoes for extra veggies, or sprinkle in red pepper flakes for heat
- Get it creamier - add a cup of heavy cream with the tortellini for ultra-rich texture
- Use fresh spinach - avoid frozen or cooked spinach as the texture won't be right.
