Cheesy Tortellini Crockpot Soup

This recipe is in Joanna's writing.  I have been looking forward to making this for a long time, and found tortellini on sale at Aldi last week, so I made it!  Yay!  The only problem was that I didn't notice all the other expensive ingredients involved in making this.  Eek!  Expensive!  Ah well.  I lasted for three meals, so it wasn't that bad after all.

Cheesy Tortellini Crockpot Soup


Ingredients:
16 oz frozen tortellini
1 lb. sausage
1 small bag fresh spinach
2 cans (15 oz) Italian style diced tomatoes
4 cups chicken broth
1 block (8oz) cream cheese
salt & pepper to taste

Directions:
Put all ingredients in the crockpot, chunking up the cream cheese.  Cook on low for 4-6 hours, until tortellini is done.

We loved this.  It was creamy and very filling.  I served it with breadsticks and we were very happy.  If I can find cheap sausage and cream cheese sometime, I will definitely make it again.

    That looks delicious. I have sausage and cream cheese from previous sales, but tortellini is expensive, and we are in a spending freeze until November, so it will have to wait until then.

    This is a recipe I pinned a while ago and made once while we were with Mom. She enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. My only complaint is that the tortellini were pretty mushy, but it was still delicious. We also had it when we had dinner with some friends once.

    Our Aldi has had theItalian style diced tomatoes lately. And, if you don't want to splurge on them it is super easy to make with regular diced tomatoes.
