Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Italian sausage, browned, drained, and chopped
- 1 (15 oz) can Italian diced tomatoes (use 2 cans for extra tomato flavor)
- 4 cups (32 oz) vegetable or chicken broth
- 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
- 1 (20 oz) bag frozen cheese tortellini
- 3–4 cups fresh spinach
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tbsp black pepper
Instructions
- Brown and drain the Italian sausage, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
- In a crockpot, add the sausage, diced tomatoes, broth, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Add cubed cream cheese on top. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours.
- Stir the soup well until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the broth.
- Add frozen tortellini and fresh spinach. Cover and cook on HIGH for another 20–30 minutes, until the tortellini are tender and heated through.
- Serve hot, garnished with extra parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- Frozen tortellini should be added near the end to avoid overcooking.
- You can substitute spicy Italian sausage for extra heat.
- For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese.
- Leftovers will thicken as they sit — add a splash of broth when reheating.
