How to Make Marry Me Chicken Soup with Tortellini

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

Season chicken with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. In a large pot with olive oil, sear on both sides until golden. Let rest, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2: Build the Flavor Base

In the same pot, sauté onion, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes until fragrant. Stir in Maggi chicken bouillon and flour to thicken.

Step 3: Bring the Soup Together

Add back the chicken, along with water, heavy cream, tortellini, and spinach. Cover and cook until the pasta is tender and the soup thickens.

Step 4: Add the Finishing Touches

Stir in fresh basil, oregano, parmesan cheese, and adjust with salt and pepper. Serve warm with extra parmesan on top.

Storage & Reheating

• Storage – Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheating – Warm on the stovetop over medium heat, adding a splash of cream or water if it thickens too much.
• Freezing – Because of the cream and tortellini, this soup doesn’t freeze well. If you want to freeze, make the soup base without tortellini and add fresh pasta when reheating.

Serving Suggestions

Pair this soup with a side of warm, crusty bread or garlic knots to soak up the rich broth. For an extra cozy touch, serve with a crisp salad or roasted vegetables to balance the creaminess.

This Marry Me Chicken Soup with Tortellini is more than just a meal—it’s comfort, romance, and indulgence in every spoonful. One bite, and you’ll know why they call it “Marry Me.”
