Chicken and pesto tortelloni soup


This was a really fresh tasting soup and was very quick to make.

Ingredients:
1 pack of tortelloni (we used walnut and gorgonzola)
1 sml courgette, diced
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 bunch parsley, chopped
a handful of chopped mixed greens
a handful of cooked chicken, shredded
800ml chicken or veg stock
1 tea spoon of pesto
shaved parmesan, to serve
  • Fry the diced courgette in a little olive oil in a deep pan
  • Once the courgette is soft, add the stock and allow to simmer
  • After 5 minutes or so, add the peas and mixed greens, allow to simmer for 1 minute
  • Add the filled pasta, pesto, chicken and parsley and simmer for 3-5 minutes or so, until the tortelloni floats to the surface
  • Serve in deep bowls and scatter with shaved parmesan
