Creamy soup filled with cheese tortellini, cream cheese and tomatoes. It’s a fabulous weeknight meal and goes perfect for a loaf of crusty french bread. Made in your crock pot (slow cooker), this creamy tortellini soup is a delicious winner!
The Ingredients List:
- Frozen tortellini
- Chicken broth
- Flour
- Dried spices: salt-pepper-thyme-paprika-minced onion- garlic powder
- Diced tomatoes
- Whipping cream
- Cream cheese
- Italian blend cheese
- Grated Parmesan cheese
Frozen Tortellini: We like to use a cheese variety for this soup, but, any flavor will work.
Dried Spices: Below is what we use for this soup, but, feel free to adjust them as to your taste.
No Whipping Cream on hand? Use whole milk instead!
A few recipe notes:
- Be sure to not add the cheese until the very end of the cooking cycle. If you add it too soon, your cheese could curdle.
- If you are looking for a unsalted chicken broth option, check out the recipe card for the brand I like.
- Can this soup be frozen? I don’t recommend freezing this soup because of the cheeses. They could separate and leave your soup not very pretty or appetizing.
