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.”

Soup Ingredients
First things first, let’s prep the ingredients for the butternut squash soup! Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees. Grab a medium sized butternut squash and cut it in half, and remove all the seeds from the inner core. I usually cut the bottom half into quarters since they are larger pieces. By doing so, it will help to evenly bake the squash.  Next, peel and cut two onions in half, and arrange them on a baking pan with the butternut squash and a few cloves of garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake for 45 mins or until the squash is fork tender and browned around the edges.

Once everything is roasted, allow the squash to cool down for a few minutes. Scoop out the butternut squash from its outer skin and add to a deep pot with the onions, garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil. Pour in two cups of chicken broth or vegetable broth and blend everything together with a hand blender. (TIP: If you don’t have a hand blender, just add everything into a standard blender and once mixed pour into a deep pot to continue)As you’re blending, add water to thin out the soup if it’s too thick. For example, for this squash it took an additional 2 cups of water to get it just right. So monitor the thickness of your soup until it’s the consistency of your liking. Add salt and pepper to taste and let it simmer until it’s ready to be served.Just like that your soup is done and ready to devour!

Now, let’s move on and make the easiest and most delicious croutons you’ve ever had. Guaranteed to put store bought croutons to shame!  

Homemade Croutons  
Making croutons is actually a lot easier than you think and they hold up really well for multiple uses. I personally love sourdough bread for croutons but any loaf type of bread will work just fine!

Slice your loaf of bread and then cut the slices into small cubes. 

Once the bread is cubed, sprinkle in your favorite herbs and spices.
For this recipes I’m using oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, olive oil, and parmesan cheese. Add everything to a bowl and give it a good mix.  

Transfer the bread to a baking pan for a short visit to the oven at 375 degrees for 10 minutes, or until the croutons are golden brown.

Now that the croutons are done, it’s time to assemble your soup!
To serve, pour in about two cups of the butternut squash soup into a bowl, add a few croutons to the top, drizzle with a little bit of olive oil, and add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.

With just a few ingredients, you’ll have a simple and delicious soup that is guaranteed to add comfort and keep you warm during the winter season. Serves 8 or 1 hungry soup lover. Enjoy!
