Notes
- Sausage Tortellini Soup: We often like to add cooked ground sausage to this recipe. Cook it with the onion in step 1.
- More veggies: This is a great recipe to add extra produce from your fridge that needs to be used up. While sautéing the onion you could also add celery, shredded carrot, baby broccoli, chopped kale, chopped zucchini.
- Crockpot Tortellini Soup: Sauté onion then add to crockpot. Add remaining ingredients except for tortellini, spinach, parmesan cheese, and cream. Cook for 4-5 hours, then add the tortellini the last 30 minutes. Add spinach, parmesan cheese, and cream a few minutes before serving.
- Storage Instructions: Keep tortellini soup covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- Freezing Instructions: Make the soup up to step 3 (before adding the tortellini). Allow it to cool, and store it in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. To reheat, heat the soup until boiling, add the tortellini, and cook for a few minutes until tender. Remove from heat and stir in spinach, parmesan cheese, and cream.
