This cheesy Crockpot Tortellini Soup is a the perfect easy dinner recipe! Looking for a vegetarian option (or don’t like sausage)? This soup is just as delicious without the sausage!

I don’t remember where I first stumbled upon this recipe. It was years ago, but I’m sure I found it while scrolling through Pinterest.. I actually made this creamy, cheesy soup recipe the first time for a work pot luck party! It was a hit and multiple people asked for the recipe before I even had the chance to try it. It has been a regular weeknight dinner meal ever since!

Ingredients

• Tortellini – I always use froze, but you can use refrigerated tortellini also!
• Italian diced tomatoes
• Vegetable broth
• Cream Cheese
• Fresh spinach – the frozen is not good in this recipe (trust me)
• Italian ground sausage – optional!

How to Make Crockpot Tortellini Soup

1. Start by browning the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain the grease.
2. Add the browned sausage, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, and cream cheese into you large slow cooker. Stir and cook on low for about 4 hours.
3. Stir in the fresh spinach and frozen tortellini and cook for another 20-30 minutes, or until the tortellini is fully cooked.
4. Serve right away as the tortellini will start to get soggy if left in the crock pot too long.
5. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
