This creamy chicken spinach tortellini soup is definitely comfort food, but it's not over-the-top unhealthy or anything. Yes, it has cheese tortellini and cream, but it's divided amongst 6 portions, so you're good.

It also has some veggies, so let's call this a nicely balanced meal. 😉

How to make spinach tortellini soup

Sauté the onions, carrots, and celery;
Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook for a few more minutes;
Add the flour and cook it for about a minute;
Add the water, broth, cooked chicken, and seasoning and bring to a boil;
Add the tortellini and cook for 5 minutes;

Pro tip: I'd say you can leave out the cream or halve the amount if you're very calorie conscious, but I like the richness it adds.

I can see this soup taking us right through the cooler months. It's a great soup to make on busy weeknights, and it's also a handy way to use up leftover chicken.
