Instructions

Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium heat.
Add diced vegetables and cook until softened, about 6 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and flour.
Pour in chicken broth and stir until flour is fully incorporated.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
Uncover the pot and stir in the shredded chicken and tortellini. Simmer uncovered for another 5 minutes until tortellini is cooked.
Whisk the heavy cream and cornstarch together and stir into the soup over medium-low heat.
Add baby spinach and grated parmesan. Simmer gently for another 1-2 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use a mixture of chicken broth and stock.
Rotisserie chicken saves time and adds great flavor to the soup.
Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers according to your taste.
