Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Finely chop the carrots, celery, and onion. Shred leftover chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped carrots, celery, and onion. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic, stirring until fragrant for about 30 seconds.
  3. Pour in the broth and scrape any bits stuck to the pot. Increase heat and bring to a gentle boil, about 5 minutes.
  4. Once boiling, add cheese tortellini and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tortellini is al dente.
  5. Stir in shredded chicken and let simmer for additional 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
  6. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, topped with fresh herbs or grated Parmesan.
