Diced tomato and a dollop of garlicky pesto add freshness and color to this quick chicken-pasta soup. Searing the chicken thighs first creates browned bits that add savory richness to the broth.
This was super easy and the pesto gave it a good flavor. I skipped the chicken and went ahead and mixed in about a T of basil pesto and the tomatoes before serving. Served with a salad.
I used white meat instead of dark
Will definitely make this again. Couldn't find the whole wheat tortellini but I'll look around more next time.
I agree; good, quick weeknight meal, but wouldn't serve it to guest. The only thing that I'd do different next time is season the meat before browning.
This dish is a good weeknight dinner. The tomatoes and pesto really add a lot of flavour. I used spinach/ricotta tortellini and probably won't bother adding the chicken next time... it doesn't really need it. I also used homemade pesto, otherwise i followed the recipe. I served it with a crusty multigrain garlic bread.
This soup is great for weeknights, hearty and good. I used rotisserie chicken instead of browning my own chicken and used regular tortellini instead of whole wheat tortellini, but otherwise I followed the recipe. I served it with garlic sourdough toast. Next time I plan to shop for the whole wheat tortellini.
This was an okay recipe. My wife felt the chicken flavor was a bit overpowering. Maybe white meat would be better in this dish.
This is a good, easy kid-friendly dinner. It's filling and tasty, and it requires only a small salad or a crusty bread to round out the menu.
