Slow Cooker Tuscan Tortellini Soup Recipe

I love making a creamy and hearty soup for dinner, and this Slow Cooker Tuscan tortellini soup recipe fits the bill. You have tender and juicy chicken in a creamy and rich broth, tortellini filled with cheese, wilted spinach for the Italian twist of a tortellini soup.

When I make this Tuscan tortellini soup my family goes nuts for it. I don’t complain because it is a dump, start, and walk away type of meal, thanks to my slow cooker.

I just let it do the work and at the end of cook time, I place the tortellini and spinach in to cook and wait an hour. Then grab bowls and serve it up!

The Best Slow Cooker Tuscan Tortellini Soup Recipe

One reason I love Italian soups like this is it tends to be a bit heartier, and can really fill you up and leave you feeling full for longer. This Tuscan tortellini stew is full of meat, pasta, a very creamy broth, lots of Tuscan seasonings, it is an outstanding soup.

Can You Use Other Meat Besides Chicken In The Tuscan Tortellini Soup

Yes! Chicken is what my family enjoys so we use that often. You are welcome to use sausage, ground beef, or even sausage links if you want. With each meat, it will vary the flavor slightly. I recommend with ground meat like sausage or beef to cook the meat in a skillet first then add it into the slow cooker and follow the same steps.

Tips for Making Slow Cooker Tuscan Tortellini Soup Recipe

• I recommend refrigerated tortellini, they have a better flavor and hold up nicely in soup.
• If you want to save money use dry over frozen tortellini.
• Make sure not to put your spinach or tortellini in until an hour before serving or they will over-cook.
• You can adjust the consistency to make it less creamy by adding more chicken broth. Do a little at a time, stir and repeat until it reaches the consistency you want.

How to Make Slow Cooker Tuscan Tortellini Soup Recipe 

I love having shredded chicken in my soup, but you are welcome to dice the chicken so it saves you step of shredding after it cooks.

Just simply dump all ingredients but spinach and tortellini in, cover and turn slow cooker on. Once it is an hour away from dinner add in your spinach and tortellini!

See this soup is such a breeze to make, thanks to your handy slow cooker!
