I love soup and I love tortellini. This creamy chicken tortellini soup is both. I also LOVE mushrooms they are one of my top favorite vegetables. Those are in this soup too.
Now, there is a long list of ingredients for this recipe. However, don’t let that scare you off. It’s flavor to this soup. There are onion, galic, carrots, red pepper, plus those mushrooms. Then, you have Italian seasoning, rosemary, a bay leaf, and basil for seasonings.

The base of the soup is made with flour, chicken broth, cream, and Parmesan cheese. Last, there is chicken and tortellini. This is one amazing soup.
