Ingredients
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1/2 lb Chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1 cup Carrot peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup Celery diced
- 2 tbsp Onion chopped
- 1 cup Green Peas
- 6 oz Cheese tortellini
- 4 tsp All-purpose flour fully dissolved in double the amount of water to flour ratio
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream
- 4 tbsp Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Bring the broth, chicken, carrot, celery, and onion to a boil in a pot over medium-high heat. Turn down to a simmer, and cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160°F. Remove the chicken from the heat and set aside.
- Using 2 forks pull the chicken apart in opposite directions to shred. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
- Add the peas and tortellini to the pot and return to a simmer for about 5 minutes or until the tortellini is tender. (The tortellini will start to float when they are cooked.)
- In a bowl mix together the flour with an equal amount of water (or a little more if needed) to form a smooth paste.
- Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Slowly stir in the flour/water mixture until the soup becomes thickened and creamy.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with parmesan to serve.
