Nicky’s Notes
I’ve eaten SO MUCH of this soup recently.
Regardless of retesting this recipe not too long ago (I made just a few tweaks for higher flavour and to simplify the recipe), then making it once more to {photograph} it, I then made it AGAIN just a few days later as a result of I couldn’t cease interested by it.
And now I’m writing up, I’m considering it could be tomorrow’s dinner too.
A number of notes:

- Don’t miss out the lemon juice. It lifts the flavour of the entire soup – with out making it lemony.
- I photographed this recipe with bread, nevertheless it doesn’t want it! It’s filling sufficient. Plus the tortellini ought to be the star carb for my part.

Make forward
You may make this forward, however I might suggest leaving out the shredded rooster till you come to reheat it. Rotisserie rooster has already been cooked as soon as. Cooking it once more within the soup, then reheating a 3rd time shouldn’t be really helpful. So omit the rooster, and add it in when reheating.
