Add Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper.
Next, add the chicken breast and chicken broth to the pot. Mix until well combined.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Add the cheese tortellini pasta to the soup pot. They don't take long to cook at all.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board. Shred or chop the chicken.
Add the chopped chicken to the pot and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes.
After simmering, reduce the heat to low. Pour in the heavy cream, grated parmesan cheese, and baby spinach leaves. Stir until the cheese melts and the soup is creamy.
