📝 Preparation Steps
1
Slow Cooker Instructions
2
Add uncut chicken to the bottom of a 6 qt. slow cooker, followed by vegetables. Add all of the remaining ingredients except for the tortellini. Give the top ingredients a stir. Cover and cook on low heat ⏱️ 6 - 7 hours or on high for ⏱️ 3-4 hours OR just until the chicken is tender enough to shred and the vegetables are tender.
3
Remove chicken to a cutting board and let rest for ⏱️ 10 minutes. Meanwhile, add tortellini to the slow cooker (turn to high heat if on low) and cook approximate ⏱️ 15 minutes. (DON'T add tortellini if you are not serving immediately, rather wait ⏱️ 15 minutes before you are going to serve).
4
Shred chicken and and add back to slow cooker with tortellini. Tortellini should be about cooked by this time. When tortellini is completely cooked, taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired (I like quite a bit more salt). For a less chunky soup, add additional chicken broth. Serve warm.

Stove Top Instructions
6
Heat one tablespoon olive oil in a large Dutch oven or stock pot over medium high heat. Once hot, add onions and cook ⏱️ 3 minutes. Add carrots, celery and garlic and cook an additional one minute.

8
Remove chicken to a cutting board and let rest for ⏱️ 10 minutes then shred.

Meanwhile, if your veggies aren’t fork tender, then continue to simmer the soup. Once tender, add tortellini and simmer just until tender, about ⏱️ 3-5 minutes. (DON'T add tortellini if you are not serving immediately, rather wait ⏱️ 5 minutes before you are going to serve to add and simmer).
