This soup reminds me of chilly evenings when mom would warm the house with a simmering pot of something special. The smoky fire-roasted tomatoes, tender chicken, and cheesy tortellini come together in a way that soothes the soul. It’s one of those recipes that brings everyone to the table—even on the busiest days.
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
