Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, drizzle in olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, sprinkling it with a pinch of salt. Sauté for about 8 minutes or until soft and golden.
  2. Stir in grated garlic and cook for an additional 15-20 seconds until fragrant, being cautious not to burn it.
  3. Pour in pureed canned tomatoes and broth. Add dried basil, dried oregano, and season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil.
  4. Gently stir in tortellini and shredded chicken. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until tortellini is al dente, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add roughly chopped spinach, crumbled feta, and heavy whipping cream. Stir well and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Ladle into bowls and serve hot, garnished with extra feta or fresh herbs.
