Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 2 carrots peeled and diced
- 1 stalk celery diced
- 2 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¾ cup dry tortellini *
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water

- 1 cup rotisserie chicken shredded or cubed, can subs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Dice the onion, peel and dice the carrot, dice the celery, mince the garlic.
- Dice or shred the cooked chicken, give the spinach a rough chop, mince some fresh herbs.
- Heat a heavy bottom stock pot over medium heat. When hot, add a tablespoon of olive oil and then add the onions and carrots, sauté about three minutes, then add the celery.
- When the veggies are lightly browned (about five minutes total) add the minced garlic and give it a good stir. It will only take about 30 seconds and you'll begin to smell the garlic. Deglaze the pan with a splash of wine, scraping all of the lovely bits off the bottom of the pan.
- Increase the heat to high and add the chicken stock and water, bring it to a boil. When boiling add the tortellini. Follow the package directions and cook until just al dente.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chicken, spinach and herbs. Finish with a squeeze of lemon.
Notes
* No fresh herbs? Substitute with ½ teaspoon dry Italian seasoning.
* You can also deglaze the pan with chicken stock.
* Fresh tortellini can be used also and will get this meal on the table even faster!
