Freezing
If you plan on freezing this soup, make the tortellini separately and add it to the soup along with the cream when it’s heated to eat. I do not recommend freezing the soup with the tortellini in it. The tortellini won’t hold up well. This creamy Chicken Tortellini Soup is another great soup recipe to add to your rotation. It is easy to make, and full of delicious flavor. This soup is a hit with even my pickiest eater. First, make sure that the flour and the oil are fully combined before you start adding the liquid. This will keep it from tasting like flour at the end. Also, add your liquid slowly, this allows the roux to stay suspended in the liquid and keeps your soup very creamy. I like to add a little at a time to start and then go faster. The whole process will take you less than a minute or two. Another option is to skip making the roux all together, and at the end whisk 2 tablespoons of corn starch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth and stirring that into the soup at the very end. Give it a minute to thicken over the heat before serving. Prepare for your kitchen to smell amazing. Follow the recipe as written, using only 5 cups of stock instead of six. After bringing the soup to a boil, simmer for 10 minutes and then add in the cooked chicken and proceed with the rest of the recipe.
Storing and Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. To reheat, cook over low heat on the stovetop, stirring often. You can also cook in the microwave, covered, stirring halfway through cooking. Always use your best discretion with leftovers.
What to Serve with Creamy Chicken Tortelli Soup
Nothing warms you up from the inside out like a bowl of homemade soup. Here are a few options of what to serve with it:
A crispy Garlic Bread is perfect for dipping. This Mediterranean Salad or a simple side salad with homemade Greek Salad Dressing Recipe. Chocolate rounds out every meal, in my opinion. This Easy Chocolate Cake is so simple and has the best frosting.
