Ingredients

Scale

Protein & Cheese

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup grated Asiago cheese
  • 9 ounces cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 8 ounces fresh mushrooms (button or cremini), chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids & Oils

  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Olive oil, for sautéing

Instructions

  1. Prep the ingredients: Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces, chop the mushrooms, dice the onion, and mince the garlic to have all ingredients ready.
  2. Sauté onions and garlic: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Cook the chicken: Add the diced chicken to the pot, cooking and stirring occasionally until browned on all sides, about 7 minutes. Ensure the chicken is cooked through but tender.
  4. Add mushrooms: Stir in the chopped mushrooms and sauté until softened and lightly browned, approximately 5 minutes.
  5. Simmer the broth: Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer to blend flavors.
  6. Cook tortellini: Add the cheese tortellini to the simmering soup and cook according to package instructions, usually 4-6 minutes, until tender but still slightly firm.
  7. Finish with cream and cheese: Reduce heat to low, stir in the heavy cream and grated Asiago cheese until the cheese has melted smoothly and the soup is creamy.
  8. Serve hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve immediately, optionally garnishing with extra Asiago or fresh herbs.

Notes

  • Use fresh tortellini if possible for a tender texture; frozen works well too.
  • Adjust the amount of heavy cream for a lighter or richer soup consistency.
  • Low-sodium chicken broth helps control saltiness, but season to taste.
  • This soup pairs well with a side of crusty bread or a simple green salad.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
