天气仍然是汤,我爱它! !
We love to havesoupespecially on a cold day and always have ourcheesy potato soup,white chicken chiliortomato basilon rotation.
Recently though, we tried a tortellini soup that has become a new favorite!
Best part is that you literally dump everything in the slow cooker and you’re set!! I don’t often have tons of time and like the recipes that can be dumped into theslow cookerand taste AMAZING 4 hours later.
This recipe has to be one of the most flavorful and simple soup recipes I’ve ever tried. It is hearty and filled with cheesy tortellini, spinach, tomatoes and a wonderful blend of spices making it oh-so-delicious.
How to Make Spinach Tortellini Soup
This recipe is as easy as they come!!
COMBINE + COOK.Place all ingredients, minus the tortellini, in the slow cooker. Make sure cream cheese is cut up in 1 inch cubes before placing in crock pot. Cook on HIGH for 2-3 hours stirring occasionally.
TORTELLINI.Add tortellini and continue cooking on HIGH for an additional hour! That’s it!! In fact, some times we just add the tortellini when we add all the ingredients at the beginning (especially if it’s frozen) which makes it even easier.
Note:If your tortellini is frozen you may need to throw it in the slow cooker sooner.
Tips + Storing Info
We usedthree cheese tortellinifor this recipe, but you could also use cheese & spinach tortellini or cheese & mushroom tortellini. Each will give a slightly different flavor to the soup. You can also use tri colored tortellini for a visual variation.
Add proteinsuch as chicken, sausage or ground beef (already cooked).
For stove top directions:
- Add tomatoes, broth, spinach, and seasonings to a cooking pot. Over medium low heat bring it to a light bubble stirring occasionally. This will take about 10 minutes. If the soup reaches a rolling boil, then reduce the heat.
- Reduce the soup to a simmer and add the tortellini. Place the softened cream cheese in 1 inch pieces over the top of the soup.
- Allow the tortellini to cook through while the cream cheese melts. Frozen tortellini will take a bit longer.
- Once tortellini is cooked and cream cheese has melted stir the soup to combine.
STOREleftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Be aware that the pasta may continue to absorb the liquid.REHEATin the microwave or the stovetop. I do not recommend freezing leftovers.

ENJOY!
This is delicious & outstanding..
Made as directed with one exception: added 1/2 pound each of lean ground beef and sweet Italian Sausage. Browned and drained together and put in with the rest of the ingredients at the beginning. Family loved it.
My husband can not eat tomatoes, think it will be okay without them?
I made it but my cubed cream cheese is chunky. Almost like dairy curds. Is is still safe to eat?!
Love this quick and easy receipe!! My kids who are 18 and 22 beg me to make this… This is going in the family recipe book!!!!
With our unusual cold, snowy and rainy weather here in California lately this recipe is sure to hit the spot for the family.
Thank you!
This Crockpot Spinach Tortellini Soup recipe looks so good…I can’t wait to try it!!
It really did not satisfy me! I had made spinach and tortellini in a crockpot before, but obviously, not this recipe! Very disappointing!
Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy the recipe. Thanks for the feedback and giving the recipe a try!
Could you make without the spinach have noticed I have none
Yes you could!
