Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 (20 ounce) package cheese tortellini
- 3 cups fresh broccoli, roughly chopped
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and milk. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Add the cheese tortellini to the boiling pot and cook for approximately 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the chopped broccoli and continue cooking for about 3 minutes until the tortellini is tender and the broccoli is bright green.

- Gently fold in the diced cooked chicken and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, omit chicken and add additional vegetables; for a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese with cashew cream.
