My family loves the inexpensive rotisserie chickens from Walmart and Sam’s Club. After the four of us eat, I usually have enough left over to make soup the next day. After making creamy tortellini soup last weekend, I decided to try my hand at another tortellini creation. I removed and shredded the remaining meat from a rotisserie chicken that I had left over in the fridge. I then added a can of condensed tomato soup as my soup base followed by other yummy ingredients. My family absolutely loved my new rotisserie chicken tortellini soup, and I have a new favorite soup recipe to make with leftover chicken.

Ingredients

• 1 cup of shredded rotisserie chicken
• 10.75 ounces of Campbell’s condensed tomato soup
• 10.75 ounces of whole milk
• 14.5 ounces of low sodium chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 19 ounces of cheese tortellini
• 2 cups of baby spinach
• 1 large shallot

Directions

1. Dice the shallot.
2. Combine the shredded chicken, tomato soup, whole milk, chicken broth, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt in a slow cooker.
3. Stir thoroughly.
4. Stir in the cheese tortellini and baby spinach.
5. Heat the soup until boiling.
6. Stir in the diced shallot.
7. Warm the soup until ready to serve. If the soup becomes too thick, add some additional milk or chicken broth.
8. Serve the rotisserie chicken tortellini soup hot.
9. Refrigerate any uneaten rotisserie chicken tortellini soup.
