CREAMY CHICKEN, SPINACH AND TORTELLINI SOUP
It is turning cold here in AK fast, so in desperate need of a warming, filling dinner in a hurry, I threw this hearty soup together with ingredients I had on hand. DH absolutely loved it and requested that it become a regular part of our winter soup rotation :)

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots and mushrooms and saute 3 minutes then add garlic and saute 1 minute longer. Add in chicken broth, chicken, oregano and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover pot with lid and allow to simmer 10 to 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through (it should register 165°F in center on an instant read thermometer). While chicken is cooking, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook, whisking constantly 1 minute. While whisking vigorously slowly pour in milk. Season with salt and pepper and bring mixture just to a light boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and set aside. Remove cooked chicken from soup and transfer to a cutting board, let rest 5 minutes then cut into pieces. Meanwhile, add tortellini to soup in pot, cover pot with lid and allow to boil over medium heat about 7 minutes (or time directed on package) adding in spinach during last 1 minute. Stir in chicken, white sauce and cream. Serve warm with parmesan cheese.
CROCKPOT CREAMY TORTELLINI, SPINACH & CHICKEN SOUP
I've made this several times now, changing it a bit to suit our mood, and we've loved it every time we've had it. I usually don't heat my cream in the microwave anymore (see step #3). Instead, I measure the amount of cream I'll need and leave it out to reach room temperature, and I've never had a problem with the cream...

Steps:
- 1. In a medium size skillet, sauté onions with the flour, basil, garlic, tomato paste and olive oil until it makes a paste, about 5 minutes. Add the paste to a 6-quart crock pot.
- 2. Stir chicken broth, undrained tomatoes, chicken, salt and pepper into the paste. Cover crock pot and cook on Low heat for 4 to 6 hours (or cook on High for 3 to 4 hours).
- 3. Remove crock pot lid, stir in tortellini, spinach, and Parmesan cheese. Heat cream in microwave oven for 30 to 40 seconds, and stir warmed cream into crock pot (the cream should be warmed or it's likely to curdle if added while it's still cold).
- 4. Remove chicken from crock pot, and shred chicken or cut into bite-size pieces. Return chicken to the crock pot, stir. Cover crock pot and cook on High heat for 10 minutes more or until tortellini is cooked through.
- 5. Ladle into individual bowls, and serve immediately.

Steps:
- How to make it: onions, flour, basil, garlic, tomato paste and drizzle with olive oil. Microwave for 5 minutes, stirring every 90 seconds or so. (The mixture will be pasty and look weird but don't worry it will all be okay in the end). Add the mixture to the slow cooker. 2. Add broth, tomatoes, chicken, salt and pepper to the slow cooker. Stir. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours (or until chicken is very tender). 3. Remove the lid and add in tortellini and spinach, Parmesan cheese and warmed cream (cream should be warmed because it may cause curdling if added in cold). 4. Use a fork to remove the chicken out of the slow cooker. On a cutting board, shred or cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Add the chicken back into the slow cooker. Put the lid back on and cook on HIGH for about 10 more minutes, or until the tortellini are cooked through. Ladle into serving bowls and enjoy!
