Chicken Tortellini Soup is delicious, fun to eat, and popular with all ages. So get ready to make a super easy and delicious soup your whole family is going to love!
The base of this soup recipe is very much like your standard chicken noodle soup. I just decided one night to add some tortellini instead of egg noodles.

Those with food allergies should note that most tortellini do have eggs and dairy, though some are available without gluten.
I have seen gluten-free frozen tortellini available in the freezer section at Whole Foods, but again, it did have dairy and eggs. So be sure to read labels if you have food allergies.
Here is my gluten, dairy, and egg-free version of this chicken tortellini soup. I tossed in some gluten-free brown rice penne. It’s a delicious option.
To Make Chicken Tortellini Soup You Will Need:
