This stew is packed with comforting flavors and textures: perfectly cooked shredded chicken, plump cheese tortellini, and a creamy tomato broth. In this recipe we use fire roasted tomatoes, which have deeper, more complex flavor than diced tomatoes. After simmering the tomatoes we puree them until smooth and then stir in a touch of cream to balance out the acidity. We stir in the chicken and tortellini at the end and garnish with a shower of fresh parsley for a delicious and easy dinner.
