Being the lazy person I am, and since I had leftover chicken that i had already pulled apart and was in broth, I threw everything in the pressure cooker and cooked it on rice setting for 6 minutes. Done and good, will do again. The only thing I did was add some chicken cubes to the water and put in about a tsp of lemon juice, regular pepper and som garlic powder. Also not a big fan of oregano, might try basil instead next time.

Very satisfying chicken soup. Love the tortellini. Add more spice than it calls for though

This was quite yummy! I used zucchini instead of broccoli and it added a nice flavor all together. The only thing I would say to change, is definitely add a chicken boulin cube or two to it and add some black pepper or on top of the lemon pepper. Otherwise it will be slightly bland. All in all, I enjoyed this dish and so did my husband.

Very good. My husband said next time I should leave out the broccoli and add more pepper, however, I thought it was just right.

I left out the broccoli, but otherwise kept things the same. It was really good, this will be a new staple in my menu's thank you. I can't believe the difference the parmesean made. Yummm...

The chicken came out stringy and icky tasting, but other than that it's fine.

I made this soup tonight for my family. I'd have to say I was a little disappointed with it. First of all why add 3 cups of water to the chicken broth it just watered it down, I ended up adding some chicken bullion to it to bring some of the flavor back. Secondly adding the veggies the way stated in the instructions makes for some very over cooked veggies. I will make the soup again but next time I will not add the extra water, but extra broth. I’ll add the veggies the same time I add the tortellini and won’t have the soup simmer 25 minutes with the chicken before adding the veggies, 15 minutes of simmering is plenty before adding the veggies. I also added a handful of spinach at the very end just before serving, giving it just enough time to wilt before spooning it out into bowls. Some of my family don’t like Parmesan cheese so we just added it to our own bowls for those of us who wanted it. I think with these changes it will make a much better soup. I also have to say that I didn’t add the lemon pepper because I didn’t have any on hand, I just use ground black pepper.
