    Why This Recipe Works

    It is soup season! Is there anything in the world that smells better slow cooking in your kitchen all day than a creamy soup? This Creamy Tortellini Soup smells absolutely delicious while it cooks and it tastes even better.

    This recipe is a breeze to make and it can easily be turned into a vegetarian soup. Omit the sausage from the recipe and cook the onion and garlic in 3 tablespoons of olive oil instead. The sausage, though. THE SAUSAGE. Goodness gracious, you would not even believe the flavor it adds to this already-dreamy soup.

    If you want easy, you are in the right place because tortellini soup does not get easier than this. There is no more than 20 minutes of prep time and your slow cooker does the rest of the work for you. It’s a dream! With cream!

    How To Make Creamy Tortellini Soup

    Step 1

    Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Add onion and garlic and cook 3 minutes or until fragrant. Add the contents of the skillet to a slow cooker, along with the carrots, celery, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and chicken broth.

    Cover and cook on high heat for 4 hours or low heat for 7 hours.

    Step 2

    Add the flour-water mixture, tortellini, cream and spinach to the crockpot and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes. Serve immediately!

    Recipe Notes

    • This recipe calls for 1 cup of heavy cream, but it doesn’t get added until the soup has done the majority of its cooking. Replace the heavy cream with half and half or even milk (preferably whole), if desired.
    • To make this a vegetarian recipe, omit the sausage and instead cook the onion and garlic in a couple tablespoons of olive oil. Also, replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth. That’s it!

    How long is tortellini soup good for?

    Fully cooked tortellini soup is good when stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
