Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Tortellini Soup
  1. Season the bone-in chicken breast with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 10 minutes before shredding.
  2. Add butter to the same pot and melt over medium heat. Sauté diced onion, carrots, and celery for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and seasoning for an additional minute.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and add shredded chicken back to the pot. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and let bubble for about 15 minutes to meld flavors.
  4. Add tortellini to the simmering soup and cook according to package instructions (3-10 minutes) until they float. Ensure they are al dente.
  5. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot in bowls, optionally accompanied by crusty bread or Ranch Oyster Crackers.
