Ingredients
- 1 3 1/2- to 4-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 carrots, cut into thin rounds
- 1/2 bunch Swiss chard, cut crosswise into 1-inch strips

- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated Parmesan
Directions
- Remove the skin from the chicken and place the pieces in a large saucepan. Add the broth and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through, about 35 minutes. Skim any foam that rises to the surface. Transfer the chicken to a plate; let cool. Shred the meat; discard the bones.
- Meanwhile, strain the broth and return it to the saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add the carrots, Swiss chard, tortellini, salt, and pepper. Simmer according to the tortellini's package directions.
- When the tortellini is done, add the chicken and heat for 3 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with the Parmesan.

Quick Tip
It takes only a modest amount of a highly flavorful ingredient, like Parmesan, to lend depth to soup. Try grating the cheese
using the small holes on a box grater for fluffy, delicate shavings.

FRESH PICK
Turnips
Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it
is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
