California Chicken Soup

Love the combination of veggies, chicken and tortellini, but the broth was bland. I agree with the others that you should use all broth, instead of diluting the broth with extra water. I ended up adding some Better Than Bouillon chicken flavor to correct the flavor. I would also double the seasonings called for. I found the cook time to be a bit excessive. The broccoli ends up being cooked for 20 minutes, which is too long. 10 is plenty, so you could add it in with the tortellini. If you’re going to make this for meal prep like I did, I suggest cooking the tortellini separately and only adding to the soup right before serving, to avoid it becoming mushy and absorbing all the liquid.

Made this soup today it turned out very good!

This was quite yummy! I used zucchini instead of broccoli and it added a nice flavor all together. The only thing I would say to change, is definitely add a chicken boulin cube or two to it and add some black pepper or on top of the lemon pepper. Otherwise it will be slightly bland. All in all, I enjoyed this dish and so did my husband.

This is a delicious and multi texture soup. You can use leftover chix breast instead of cooking it in the soup--great way to get rid of leftover chicken plus using fresh veggies make it healthy too. The before I broiled chicken breast with garlic pepper and olive oil for 15 minutes. It sat over night in the fridge, and I cut it up the next night for the soup. I added it last just to warm it up. Delicious!
