When it comes to sups this Tortellini Soup is literally heaven in a bowl. Creamy, meaty and filled with tortellini this soup is literal comfort and perfect for these cooler months
I’ve always been a soup person. My husband and myself used to buy cans upon cans of soup and just live of that. Now that we’ve grown up a little bit, we kinda like to make our own at home.
Wanna know something else that I really like? My slow cooker. I love meals where you can fix it and forget it and this Sausage Tortellini Soup is exactly that recipe!
WHAT INGREDIENTS DO YOU NEED?
- Italian sausage
- Onion
- Green pepper
- Chicken stock
- Diced tomatoes
- Cream cheese
- Tortellini
Now with just those ingredients listed you know that it is going to be good! I mean seriously anything with tortellini is awesome to begin with but when it comes to tortellini soup then its like above and beyond.
This is one of those recipes that has become a staple in our house. My kids love it so much, and when I can find a recipe that is equally loved by children as it is by adults then I’m sticking with it.
As I’ve mentioned before but I absolutely love my slow cooker. This bad boy has been a life saver. Especially when I worked evenings! Can you believe that I now own not only 1 slow cooker but 5!!!
Fix it and forget it meals are amazing for my busy family. If there is a recipe that I can throw in the slow cooker at the beginning of the day I would prefer it to having to whip something up last minute.
I mean I know we have all been there when it comes to last minute cooking, I would rather just be able to have something ready to go when I’m ready for it. Kinda like magic.
This tortellini soup recipe can be adapted to your liking easily! I’ve switched up the variation a bit over the years, added some onions and peppers to this specific recipe.
In the past I’ve added spinach and mushrooms too! It’s one of those recipes that you can kind of run with and create as you go. Switch it up and play around and see what you come up with!
HOW DO YOU MAKE TORTELLINI SOUP?
- In skillet, fry together your onions, peppers and italian sausage and add to crock pot.
- Pour in your chicken stock, tomatoes and cream cheese.
- Cook on low for 3 hours, add your tortellini and stir and cover and continue to cook for 1 more hour.
- Stir around every few hours to disperse the cream cheese.
- Remove lid for the last 30 minutes of cook time to let sauce thicken up.
See this recipe is easy peasy, and it is a shorter slow cooker recipe so it’s not one that has to be on for 8 hours or anything which is fine!
Oh and don’t even get me started on the smell that this puts off. You’ll be sitting there all day just drooling because you want nothing but to dig it!

Can you cook it on high and cut the time in half?
Tornadough Alli
It shouldn’t be an issue, but watch your tortellini when you add it because it will get soggy if cooked too long.

Thanks for visiting 🙂 this was a real hit. Crockpots are amazing in the summer! No hot ovens and no slaving over the stove.
