Chicken Tortellini Soup


A friend brought us a steaming crockpot full of this chicken noodle goodness after we had Emily (our 2nd child). Complete with homebaked bread (just the frozen kind you thaw and bake) and a yummy apple crisp dessert. Talk about comfort food!

Anyway, here's her "secret" recipe. Enjoy!

Chicken Tortellini Soup
1.5 lbs boneless/skinless chicken cubed and raw(3 chicken breasts)
10-12 cups water and enough bouillon to make broth
2 TBS. basil
1 bag froz mixed veggies
1 12-16 oz. pkg cheese tortellini
2 TBS. minced garlic

Simmer on low in crockpot 8 hrs. At the 7th hour, turn to high and add tortellinis.

OR

Boil all ingredients except tortellinis for 20-25 min or until chicken is cooked through. Add tortellinis and cook until tender 5-10 min.
