Crockpot Tortellini Soup with Sausage
This Crockpot Tortellini Soup with Sausage is a comforting and hearty dish packed with flavors and perfect for any meal.
Equipment
- Crockpot
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Italian sausage see note
- 0.5 medium onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 medium carrots sliced or chopped
- 2 sticks celery chopped finely
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 14 ounces diced tomatoes with juices
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 18 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini 2 (9 ounce) packages
- ¾ cup heavy/whipping cream optional
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach (packed)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the sausage meat and onions to a skillet. Sauté for about 7-8 minutes, breaking the sausage meat up with your spoon, until browned. If needed, spoon out some of the excess fat.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the sausage mixture to your Crockpot.
- Add the carrots, celery, canned tomatoes, and chicken broth to the Crockpot. Keep in mind that if you want the soup to cook in 3-4 hours, the carrots will have to be chopped pretty finely. If you're cooking it for 7-8 on low or 4-5 hours on high, you can chop them larger.
- About 30 minutes prior to serving, add in your cheese tortellini, cream, and spinach (set the heat to 'high'). Stir occasionally. Season with salt & pepper as needed prior to serving.
