A few notes before you get started on your Crockpot Sausage & Tortellini Soup:

• Once the soup is cooked, be sure to turn off the crockpot instead of leaving it set to warm. The tortellini will continue to cook if you leave it on, which could mean your soup gets overcooked.
• You don’t have to use frozen tortellini, but if you choose to use a refrigerated option know that the soup will cook a little bit faster.
• If you like your soup a little spicy, I recommend adding 2 tablespoons of red pepper flakes with the other seasonings at the beginning!

This recipe is SO easy and simple to make. I love that you basically just throw the majority of things in the crockpot, and then add the last 2 ingredients 30 minutes before serving.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Italian sausage, browned, drained and chopped
• 1 15 oz can Italian diced tomatoes, (add a 2nd can if you really love tomatoes!)
• 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth, 32oz container
• 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
• 1 20oz bag frozen cheese tortellini
• 3-4 cups fresh spinach
• 1 tbsp garlic salt
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
• ½ tbsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Add the sausage, broth, diced tomatoes (1 or 2 cans, depending on how much you like tomatoes!), cubed cream cheese and seasonings to your slow cooker. Stir well, and cook on low for 4 hours (or until the cream cheese has completely dissolved).
2. Stir in the spinach and frozen tortellini. Cook for an additional 30 minutes or until the pasta is done to your liking.
3. Serve immediately! Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

• Once the soup is cooked, be sure to turn off the crockpot instead of leaving it set to warm. The tortellini will continue to cook if you leave it on, which could mean your soup gets overcooked. Slow cookers are great for locking in the warmth after cooking, so don't worry about your soup getting cold as long as you keep the lid on!
• You don’t have to use frozen tortellini, but if you choose to use a refrigerated option know that the soup will cook a little bit faster. I recommend checking to see if they're finished cooking after 15 minutes instead of 30 in this case.
• If you like your soup a little spicy, I recommend adding 2 tablespoons of red pepper flakes with the other seasonings at the beginning!
• No Italian sausage? No worries! This soup tastes great without the added meat too. You can also substitute for any leftover meat you might have, like shredded chicken, turkey or ground beef. If you are using leftover protein, add it into the soup mixture when you add the frozen tortellinis so that it doesn't overcook and dry out.
