Chicken Tortellini Soup

Place a large sauce pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil and chopped onions and saute until softened. Add the chopped red bell pepper, sliced carrots, and garlic and saute another 5 minutes.

Add whole, raw, chicken breasts, chicken broth, dried thyme, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and simmer 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

Remove the chicken and place on a cutting board. Turn heat back to medium, stir in tortellini (stir well so it doesn't stick together). Chop or shred chicken and place back in soup.

Once the tortellini is cooked through turn off the heat, stir in the heavy whipping cream, spinach, and parsley.

Serve warm.
