There is nothing quite like coming home to the smell of this creamy tortellini soup bubbling away in the slow cooker. It is one of my favorite meals to put together because it tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen even though it only takes a few minutes of prep work.

My secret to the best flavor is browning the sausage before adding it to the pot. It adds a lovely depth to the broth that pairs perfectly with the tender pasta. Just be sure to stir in your spinach at the very end so it stays bright and fresh.

🧺 Ingredients

1 pound mild Italian sausage
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans diced tomatoes, 14.5 ounces each
4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 package refrigerated cheese tortellini, 20 ounces
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Brown the sausage and diced onion in a large skillet over medium heat until the meat is cooked through.
2
Drain any excess grease and stir in the minced garlic for about one minute until fragrant.
3
Transfer the sausage mixture into your slow cooker.
4
Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning to the slow cooker.
5
Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours.
6
Stir in the tortellini and heavy cream during the last 20 minutes of cooking.
7
Add the fresh spinach right before serving and stir until it wilts.
8
Season with salt and pepper to your liking and serve warm.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. I recommend keeping the tortellini separate if you plan to freeze the soup because the pasta can get a little soft when reheated. Serve this with a side of crusty garlic bread to soak up the creamy tomato broth.
