Method
 

Directions
  1. Melt the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until bubbly, creating a luscious base for the soup.
  2. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetable mixture, stirring briefly for about 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
  5. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, incorporating it slowly until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken.
  6. Simmer the soup gently for a few minutes until it thickens slightly, then stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning.
  7. Add the diced cooked chicken and cheese tortellini, allowing the soup to simmer until the tortellini is tender, roughly 5-7 minutes.
  8. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts, adjusting salt and pepper to taste.
