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.

If making the tortellini soup as a freezer meal, put all the ingredients except the tortellini in a large resealable bag, remove the excess air and freeze it flat. 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.
