This tortellini soup recipe is so easy, not to mention that it conveniently cooks up in the crockpot. This soup can even be made ahead as a freezer meal. It is hearty enough for a complete dinner. You can customize and change up this recipe by adding different vegetable combinations. Start by using vegetables that you know your family likes, which consequently allows you to change it up after they are in love with this soup!

This hearty crock pot tortellini soup can also be made ahead as a freezer meal. #freezermeal #crockpotsoup #tortellinisoup #makeaheadmeals

Tortellini Soup Recipe:

Throw into a large crockpot:

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 900 mL tetrapak of chicken broth or homemade chicken stock
  • 1 700 mL jar pasta sauce
  • 3 cloves of minced garlic
  • 3 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes
  • 2 cups water
  • 3 cups frozen mixed veggies (I use an Italian blend that has carrots, cauliflower, zucchini, romano beans, lima beans, and red pepper, but any combination of mixed vegetables is fine)

Stir and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours.

15 minutes before serving supper, you will need to add:

  • 4-5 cups of fresh cheese tortellini

Simmer for 15 minutes and serve. This recipe feeds our entire family of 9 people and there’s usually enough for a leftover lunch for a few of us as well.

For added flavor, you can further add some extra red pepper flakes and grated parmesan cheese to each bowl when serving. If you like things spicy, you can add a lot of red pepper flakes.

Add the tortellini into another resealable bag and staple the bags together, so as to have everything you need in one place. On the day of cooking, thaw and pour the ingredients into a crockpot. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. Then, stir 4-5 cups of tortellini into the crockpot, 15 minutes before serving the soup.

      4-6 hours on low. Thank you for your question. I didn’t realize it wasn’t in the post. I’m going back to change it now!
