Chicken Tortellini Florentine Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or soup pot to medium heat and add the oil. Put the chicken wings and breasts in skin-side down and cook without moving until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside the chicken.

Add the stock, fresh thyme and bay leaf, return the chicken to the pot and bring to a low simmer; simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Set aside the chicken to cool on a plate.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Shred the chicken breasts and whatever can be salvaged from the wings and pour any reserved juices back into the soup pot. Add in the chicken and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Just before serving, add in the lemon zest and juice to taste.

• Add the cooked tortellini and spinach. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to heat through and wilt the spinach.Even after making this I felt that it needed just a little more liquid.
