Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil to sauté
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped
  • 3 sticks celery finely chopped
  • 3 large carrots peeled and chopped or sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken
  • 2 packages refrigerated cheese tortellini 9 ounces each
  • salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • 1 Pressure cooker

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in your pressure cooker on sauté mode. Toss in the chopped onion, celery, and carrots. Cook until they’re soft and starting to smell real good, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add in the minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Stir it around, gotta bring out the flavor and aroma.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and shredded chicken. Give it a good stir, then close the lid and lock it with the sealing ring in place.
  4. Set your pressure cooker to high pressure and let it pressure build. Once it hits full pressure, cook for 10 minutes.
  5. When the time’s up, let the pressure release naturally. You’ll hear the valve hiss softly when it’s safe to open.
  6. Open the lid carefully, add in the refrigerated cheese tortellini and stir it through the soup.
  7. Close the lid again but just cook on manual low pressure for 3–5 minutes, or until tortellini feels soft with that tender pull. Then do a quick release, season with salt and pepper, garnish if you want some parsley, and get ready to serve immediately.

Notes

Store soup and pasta separately to maintain texture during storage. You can also add fresh spinach or zucchini before pressure finish for extra color and crunch.
