Creamy Crockpot Tortellini Soup Recipes

SLOW COOKER CREAMY TORTELLINI SOUP

Steps:

• Place the browned sausage, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, Italian seasoning, beef bouillon powder, salt, and broth in a 6-quart / litre slow cooker bowl. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 7 hours.
• Uncover and skim any fat that is sitting on the top of the soup with a spoon; discard. Stir in the cornstarch mixture with the evaporated milk (or half and half or cream). Add the tortellini and mix well. Cover again and cook on HIGH heat setting for a further 45 minutes until the soup has thickened, and the tortellini is soft and cooked through.
• Add in the spinach, pressing the leaves down to completely submerse into the liquid. Cover again for a further 5-10 minutes until the leaves have wilted.
• Pour in milk in 1/3 cup increments, as needed, to reach your desired thickness and consistency (I needed 1 cup); taste test and season with extra salt ONLY if needed, and pepper to suit your tastes.
• Serve with crusty warmed bread

Steps:

• If using frozen tortellini, put bag in refrigerator to begin to thaw. Combine all other ingredients in the slow-cooker.
• Cook on LOW for 7 hours or HIGH for 5 hours. (I have only cooked this recipe on the LOW setting, personally.).
• Before adding tortellini, break up chunks of cream cheese with a whisk. Stir in tortellini. Cover and cook for 20-30 minutes until tender and hot.
