Easy Crockpot Sausage & Tortellini Soup
Ingredients
1 lb Italian sausage, browned, drained and chopped
1 15 oz can Italian diced tomatoes
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
1 20oz bag frozen cheese tortellini
3–4 cups fresh spinach
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
½ tbsp black pepper
Instructions
1. Add the sausage, broth, diced tomatoes, cubed cream cheese and seasonings to your slow cooker. Stir well, and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
2. Stir in the spinach and frozen tortellini. Cook for an additional 30 minutes or until the pasta is done.
3. Serve immediately and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
Turn off the crockpot once the soup is done or the tortellini may overcook.
Refrigerated tortellini cooks faster; check after 15 minutes.
Add red pepper flakes for extra heat.
You can skip sausage or use leftover cooked meat like chicken or turkey.
