Heat the butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, cooking for 3-4 minutes while stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the garlic and Italian seasoning, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Sprinkle in the flour and whisk until it turns a light golden color, about 1 minute.
Add the chicken stock and bay leaf, seasoning with salt and pepper to your liking. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover, letting it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir in the chicken and tortellini, cooking until the tortellini is tender, approximately 4-5 minutes.
Mix in the heavy cream, peas, lemon juice, and parsley, cooking just until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
