There is nothing quite like coming home to a house that smells like a delicious Italian dinner. This soup is a total family favorite because it combines savory sausage with tender, cheese filled pasta in a broth that feels like a warm hug. It is simple enough for a busy Tuesday but special enough for a weekend meal.

My top tip for this recipe is to wait until the very end to add the tortellini. Adding them during the last thirty minutes of cooking keeps them perfectly tender so they do not fall apart or get mushy in the slow cooker.

Ingredients

1 pound Italian sausage
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can diced tomatoes, 28 ounces
4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 package refrigerated cheese tortellini, 20 ounces
3 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1
Brown the Italian sausage and diced onion in a skillet over medium heat until the meat is cooked through.
2
Transfer the sausage and onion mixture into your slow cooker.
3
Add the minced garlic, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, oregano, and tomato paste to the slow cooker and stir well.
4
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours.
5
About 30 minutes before you are ready to eat, stir in the cheese tortellini and the fresh spinach.
6
Once the pasta is tender, stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese.
7
Serve warm with a little extra cheese on top.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. If the soup gets too thick in the fridge, add a small splash of broth when reheating it on the stove. This pairs perfectly with a piece of crusty garlic bread.
