Chicken Tortellini Soup is a 20 minute creamy, savory and DELICIOUS soup studded with tender chicken bites, spinach, carrots, and cheese tortellini. Tasty and super easy to make, you’re simply going to love just how fast it all comes together.

I love me some soup, friends! Really, really love. BUT I have a house full of pasta obsessed beings. No matter what I make – Baked Pesto Chicken, Pan Seared Sirloin Steak, for instance – there, right behind me, you will find my husband making a pot of pasta to go with what I prepared. 

In order to come to an understanding when we discuss soup, Creamy Tortellini Soup is where we all can and DO agree on.

HOW TO MAKE INSTANT POT CREAMY CHICKEN TORTELLINI SOUP

  1. First, we are going to combine the onions, celery, carrots, garlic, and chicken in our instant pot and sauté until chicken is browned and veggies are beginning to soften; about 5 minutes.
  2. Dried tortellini, broth, and seasonings will also be added to the pot and sealed.
  3. The soup is going to cook in the IP on “manual” for 5 minutes; then, wait 10 minutes to release pressure. If you do not have an “Instant Pot”, cook the soup in a pressure cooker for 13 minutes before releasing pressure/steam.
  4. When soup has finished cooking, remove the lid, stir in spinach and half & half; continue to cook for 1 minute on sauté, or until soup is heated through.
  5. Ladle into soup bowls and serve.

As is my goal with most recipes I make for Diethood, this is a ONE POT dinner made in under 30 minutes. It is also a complete meal, all in one bowl. That’s it. That’s this Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Tortellini Soup.

It requires a bit of front-end chopping to prep the veggies and chicken, all in all, maybe 6.5 minutes of prep.

    I added cumin, onion powder and doubled the garlic! Delicious!

  2. Alison says:

    Great recipe! I honestly thought it tasted better after I refrigerated it for awhile. Before refrigeration it tasted mostly like chicken broth, but after you could really taste the cream and other ingredients. Love this recipe and will definitely make again.

  3. Tina says:

    This recipe was extremely bland. If you like extra spice and savory-ness try a diff recipe or adjust this one. We added more spices (we added cumin, Lowry’s seasoning salt, paprika, garlic salt, and more salt, thyme, and Italian seasoning.

    1. Julie A Bird says:

      This is one of my favorite soup recipes!! I did bump up the spices and added a little more tortillon.

        That’s great! I’m very glad you enjoyed it! Thank YOU! 🙂

    Hi! Where do you find dried tortellini?

    1. Katerina Petrovska says:

      Hi!
      Tortellini comes dried, frozen, and fresh so be sure to check the dried pasta aisle – that’s where I find the ones I use.
