How To Make Creamy Chicken Tortellini Soup

1. Medium heat olive oil in a large sauce pot. Add the chopped onions. Let the onions cooked for 2 to 3 minutes until golden.
2. Add the red bell pepper, carrots, and garlic. Mix them and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Now add the whole chicken breasts, chicken broth, dried thyme, red pepper, 1 teaspoon salt and a little ground black pepper to the pot. Bring it to a simmer. Lower the heat and let it cook for 15 to 18 minutes, until the chicken is properly cooked.
4. Remove the chicken and place it onto a cutting board. Turn the heat to medium. Add in the DeLallo Three Cheese Tortellini in the simmering broth. Stir well so that the broth doesn’t stick to the pot.
