Tortellini Soup

We are not big soup eaters in our house. This recipe is a little less like soup and more like a pasta dish with a heavier sauce to me, but it is called tortellini soup. It is made in a slow cooker, so naturally it is an easy recipe. I found it through Pinterest on heatherlikesfood.com.

Serves 6 to 8

Ingredients 

24 oz pasta sauce
3 or 4 cups chicken broth
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 large onion, chopped
16 oz frozen tortellini
1 lb ground beef
8 oz sliced mushrooms
4.5 oz fresh spinach
Meat seasoning blend



Instructions

Brown ground beef with seasoning in large skillet.

 Cut up the cream cheese block into small cubes. In the crock-pot, put the cream cheese, mushrooms, pasta sauce, onion, and chicken broth. Stir together. Cook on low for 6 hours.

 Stir in the spinach and tortellini and cook on low another 30 minutes.

Serve with crackers as a soup. You can also freeze any left overs.


From one newbie to another, enjoy!
