Savor a heartwarming chicken tortellini soup, brimming with fresh spinach, mushrooms, and bell pepper. It's a flavorful blend that's both nourishing and delicious.

4 1/2 quarts chicken broth
9 ounces fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
3/4 pound fresh spinach leaves, coarsely chopped
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 cups cooked white rice
2 teaspoons dried tarragon
freshly grated Parmesan cheese, optional
Heat the chicken broth in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the cheese tortellini and cook as directed on the package, or until al dente.
Add the fresh spinach, cubed chicken, sliced mushrooms, diced bell pepper, rice, and tarragon to the pot and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and let cook until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve the chicken tortellini soup hot sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

I cut the recipe in half and it turned out perfect. Love how simple it was and it's a good, filling soup. Flavor was very good and my whole family liked it.
