Make the stock, buy the tortellini... That's the strategy of Everyday Food editor Sarah Carey uses to make this super-speedy soup.
In a medium pot, bring stock to a boil over high. Add tortellini and cook 2 minutes less than package instructions. Add peas and spinach and cook until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Serve with Parmesan and lemon wedges.
To make chicken stock, bring chicken bones and 9 cups water to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, 1 1/2 hours. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, discard solids.
Just made this....was easy and delicious! The fresh lemon and parmesan at the end makes it special. Added some shredded chicken breast to the left-overs which reheated well and tasted great as well! A definite keeper.
I just tried this soup tonight. I ate 1 1/2 bowls. I lost count on how many bowls my husband had. Needless to say, he finished it. This was absolutely delicious. We will be eating this on a regular basis. I would rate this soup a 5 out of 5 stars.
