How To Make Our Instant Pot Creamy Tortellini Soup:
Get your Instant Pot and turn on the SAUTE function and add in some olive oil.
Once the inner pan is hot, add in the diced onion and bite-sized chicken breasts and stir it for a couple of minutes.
Then, add in the minced garlic with the chicken.
Continue to stir all of that until the onions become translucent and fragrant and the chicken begins to cook.
Now, add in the dried basil, tomato paste, chicken broth, petite diced tomatoes (with the juice), cheese tortellini, salt, and pepper.
After that is all in there, give it a good stir to combine everything, and then put the lid on the Instant Pot.
Make sure that the valve is in the SEALING position.
Once that is done, and the Instant Pot is sealed, press the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK button and set the timer for 15 minutes.
After the timer runs out, turn the knob to the VENTING position and let the pressure release from the Instant Pot.
Then, add in the fresh spinach (or kale if you prefer), parmesan cheese, and warm half and half and stir it all together.
Now turn on the SAUTE function to heat everything through and then you just have to serve and enjoy!

I love tortellini and can’t wait to try. And spinach too…woohoo! However, you might want to fix recipe. Some steps are the same and instructions for adding seasonings, broth, tomatoes, tomato paste and tortellini are left out. Since I’m an experienced cook, I too can figure it out but some people may not. From experience, tortellini is a pasta and will continue to cook and soak up liquids so I usually cook my tortellini separately and add to individual bowls so it doesn’t get mushy. That’s just my preference.
