Istruzioni

Season the Chicken: Toss chicken pieces in a bowl with ⅛ teaspoon of salt and black pepper.

Cook the Chicken: In a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil for 30 seconds. Cook chicken for 6 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove chicken and set aside on a plate.

Sauté the Veggies: If the pot is dry, add another ½ tablespoon of oil. Add onions, celery, carrots, garlic, and a pinch (⅛ teaspoon) of salt. Stir occasionally and cook until they soften, about 5 minutes. Mix in flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often.

Simmer the Soup: Add chicken broth, cooked chicken, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender.

Add Tortellini: Put tortellini into the pot and let it simmer uncovered for 4 minutes.

Finish with Spinach: Stir in the spinach and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serve and Enjoy: Dish the soup into a bowl, sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese, and it's ready to enjoy.
