4. 3 cloves of garlic, minced
5. 2 carrots, sliced
6. 2 celery stalks, chopped
7. 4 cups chicken broth
8. 1 can diced tomatoes
9. 1 teaspoon dried oregano
10. 1 teaspoon dried basil
11. 1/2 teaspoon salt
12. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
13. 1 package of cheese tortellini
14. Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant and golden brown.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the pot and cook until they are no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool.
3. In the same pot, add the sliced carrots and chopped celery. Sauté for a few minutes until they start to soften.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and add the can of diced tomatoes. Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a gentle boil.
5. While waiting for the soup to boil, shred the cooked chicken using two forks.
6. Add the shredded chicken and cheese tortellini to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the tortellini is cooked.
7. Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings if needed. If the soup seems too thick, you can add more chicken broth or water to achieve your desired consistency.
8. Once the tortellini is cooked, remove the pot from the heat. Serve the Chicken Tortellini Soup hot and garnish with fresh chopped parsley for added freshness.
