Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Tortellini Soup

Step 1

In a soup pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add chicken and Italian seasoning; cook, stirring for about 3 minutes or until chicken is starting to brown. Remove chicken to a plate.

Step 2

Add mushrooms, shallot, garlic, salt and pepper; cook, stirring for about 5 minutes or until mushrooms start to become golden.

Step 3

Pour in cream and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and stir in tortellini and browned chicken and any accumulated juices. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes or until tortellini are just tender and chicken is no longer pink inside. Stir in Asiago and chives.

Step 4

Ladle into bowls and garnish with chives and more Asiago if desired
