Prepare the Base:
- In a large saucepot, combine water, chicken broth, diced chicken, minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, diced onions, and cream of chicken soup. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
-
Bring to a Boil:
- Cover the saucepot with a lid and bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. This step will infuse the soup with all the delicious flavors from the herbs and spices.
-
Add Tortellini and Vegetables:
- Once the soup reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low. Add the cheese tortellini and any desired vegetables to the simmering broth. Common choices include carrots, celery, and spinach, but feel free to customize according to your preferences.
-
Simmer to Perfection:
- Cover the saucepot again and allow the soup to simmer gently for about 20 minutes. This simmering period allows the flavors to meld together beautifully while ensuring that the tortellini cooks to tender perfection.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Once the soup is ready, ladle it into bowls and garnish each serving with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and diced tomatoes. These finishing touches not only enhance the visual appeal of the dish but also add an extra burst of flavor.
