  1. Heat olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, celery and carrots to pan and sauté for approximately 5 minutes or until begin to soften. Add garlic, stir and cook another 2 minutes.
  2. Add chicken broth to veggies and increase heat to high, bringing broth to a boil. Reduce heat to medium bringing broth to a simmer. Add tortellini pasta and cook for 10 minutes or until cooked through.

3. Stir in shredded chicken, thyme, oregano, and spinach. Cook until chicken is warmed, and spinach is wilted about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add Buholzer Brothers Havarti cheese and red pepper flakes, stirring to combine. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
