Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8-12 minutes chicken cut into bite-sized pieces, seasoned with salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 minutes onion cook until softened
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups sweet potato diced
  • 2 cups frozen asparagus cut into 3-inch pieces
  • 9 ounces cheese tortellini fresh, refrigerated

Instructions
 

  • Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium, and cook until done (about 8-12 minutes) turning it once during cooking. Remove from the heat. When cool to the touch, cut into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  • In a Dutch oven or large pot, add the remaining oil. When hot, add the onion and cook for about 4 minutes or until it begins to soften.
  • Add the red curry paste, chili garlic sauce, and curry powder. Stir and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the chicken broth to the mixture along with the salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Add the sweet potato. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the sweet potato has softened.
  • Add the heavy cream, whisking it into to the mixture, a little at a time. Remove about 3 tablespoons of the liquid and place it in a small bowl. Add the flour to the liquid and mix until smooth. Add the flour mixture back into the Dutch oven, and whisk to combine. This will thicken the liquid.
  • Add the chicken, torteleini, and frozen asparagus, and cook for 6-8 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Serve hot in individual bowls.
